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

I'm sure you can guess who came up with a practical way to make an Insterstellar black hole -- Joey Shanks of Shanks FX, of course. Earlier this month, he came out with a demonstration on how to use light painting techniques to create the look of a black hole. However, the video left many questions, like how to use post-production software to animate, composite, and grade the footage for a final composition.

Is that bland, overcast sky killing your shot? Have you needed a beautiful sunset in your scene and Mother Nature has been uncooperative? How about shooting at night and finding that the moon and stars are barely visible while your talent is over or under exposed? Or have you needed to match the sky multiple day shoot or reshoot and the sky is just not right?
