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

The Dam Keeper, currently shortlisted for an animated short Oscar and nominated yesterday for an Annie Award, is the first independent film directed by feature film art directors Robert Kondo and Dice Tsutsumi. Already the recipient of dozens of awards on the festival circuit, the film achieved a unique look by combining drawn animation with the impressionist painting styles of its directors.

As some of you might have seen in the talkback video, I recently started learning magic… well, magic tricks since real magic doesn’t seem to exist, it’s as close as I can get. It’s not only a relaxing hobby, it also taught me a lot that I can use for animation and storytelling. While I expected to learn things like directing attention or providing information in a such a way that it will not be questioned by the audience, the scope of the biggest lesson caught me a little off guard: Itâ€...

When the Disney strike of 1982 ended and the story artists returned to their respective work spaces in the animation building, Basil of Baker Street was still running along two sets of tracks. There were storyboards filled with gags and character bits, and boards filled with plot points.

Is anyone surprised that Disney would be working on a sequel of the hit movie?

Artist Jean-Michel Bihorel shared the character design of Georges Henri de la Poudrière with fellow artist Camille Campion. The concept was devised on paper by Camille and then Jean-Michel realised it in 3D, from modelling to compositing. The project took a year to create as Jean-Michel modelled the entire figure for animation as well as paying attention to the finer details.

I've always enjoyed stop motion, from my elementary school days watching "Gumbi" on the TV, to sitting in my darkened bedroom with an 8mm projector running a print of the 1925 silent Lost World (from Blackhawk Films!) over and over.
