To The Aotg.com Community,

It is with a heavy heart that we announce we will no longer be updating Aotg.com. Back in 2007, when we started, there was a lack of access to information about film, television, and commercial editing. We wanted to fix that by creating a central location for content about editing to be stored.

Since then, we've watched the amount of content about editing on the internet grow exponentially. We've also watched social media tools come and go with that growth. Does anyone remember Google Wave!? These social media tools changed how people access and search for media and information. People tend to turn to Facebook, Youtube, Twitter, and Instagram for their news and information, and those are all great tools to promote your sites, but as a site that aggregates links to other sites for users, it just doesn't work for us.

We will keep the site live but archive the ability to add links and comments. We will keep our database live with the links for those who desire to use it to search for editing information and research.

Our podcast, The Cutting Room, will move over to the Filmmakeru.com website and will continue to be a place for interviews with editors and other film professionals.

Everyone who worked for Aotg.com loved what we created and are proud that we could help so many editors find content that spoke to them.

I look forward to seeing everyone at the various post events worldwide in the coming years!

Yours truly,
Gordon Burkell
Aotg.com Founder

Rowland B. Wilson's 'Trade Secrets' - Book Review

May 22, 2015, 03:44 AM

A major concern that rears its head from time to time with each wave of new animators is a sort of willful insistence on abandoning the principles of the craft for the sake of contemporary aesthetics. Not to denigrate modern or design-led animation; with thought and effort behind it, it has made for some incredibly charming, inspiring, even game-changing pieces of work, but the ease in which today’s software can polish a lily (mixed metaphor but you get the idea) through a patchwork of lightin...

Blender Making Of - 'The Discovery' by Mark Newnha

http://www.blenderguru.com/articles/making-of-the-...

The idea for this project essentially came from my fascination with the Rosetta Stone, an ancient Egyptian tablet of inscriptions in 3 languages. I thought it would be interesting to imagine what an alien version of this tablet would look like.

Pixar And Disney Are Working Really Hard To Be Div

May 20, 2015, 04:51 AM

For some time, Disney animation has come under fire as being the complete opposite of diverse with their animated characters. While films like Pocahontas and The Princess And The Frog have helped add some much needed weight on the other side of the scales, the canon of Disney characters have been, for the most part, white protagonists.
