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

Although Pixar's lineage dates back to the 1970's, it wasn't until Steve Jobs purchased the Lucasfilm Computer Graphics Division from George Lucas on February 3, 1986 that it officially became known as "Pixar". With less than 50 employees on hand after the official formation of the company, there were a surprising number of changes that would happen along the way to producing Toy Story — the groundbreaking film that would forever change the industry. From it's early roots as a hardware-based c...

Jack Kinney went to work at Walt Disney Productions in 1930, and departed twenty-eight years later in 1957. In-between he directed features and shorts, although he claimed always to enjoy Disney short-form projects better, most likely because he wasn't micr-managed by Walt.

On November 7, 2015, The London Gazette celebrated its 350th birthday as the longest-running English print newspaper. Founded in Oxford in 1665, The Gazette was initially a way for the court to report the facts of the day as the plague had left courtiers frightened of the disease, and reluctant to touch London newspapers.
