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

The global visual-effects community has been asking for better working conditions for years — even staging rallies at the 2013 and 2014 Academy Awards to raise awareness of the issue, but not resulting in an industry change.

Remember when NBC’s Heroes took television audiences by storm back in 2006? Well, it’s back, sort of, thanks to Heroes Reborn, featuring a new cast of heroes and villains, but for those Heroes purists, we say. “Don’t fret!” Some of the main characters from the first iteration are featured as well. Each week, as you can imagine, a huge number of visual effects shots have to be created for the show. This is where Elan Dassani, co-founder/president of Master Key Productions, comes...

George Manolache – Staticap is a client’s product (www.staticap.com), a non-rotating wheel cap for vehicles. I was in charge with the creation of a product video presentation for SEMA 2012. This one was a challenge since the SEMA show was only 3 months away after the project had a kickoff. I started from scratch.

Overseeing the work was Cinesite VFX Supervisor Zave Jackson who previously assisted the adventures of James Bond on Skyfall.
