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

Our final episode from Trojan Horse was a Unicorn features Scott Ross and surprise guest Allen Bolden. We talk about how much THU means to us, and about our vision of the industry. We also talk about how we feel we need to preserve the energy we have at THU and preserve it in a special way.

If you follow people in the film industry on Facebook or Twitter, then back in 2013, you probably saw them turn their avatar to a plain, bright green box for a day. It was a political statement, but not about the usual causes. Rather, it was a response to the way the movie business treats the people who responsible for so many of the magical moments that films deliver to us: Namely the visual effects artists who transform plain green screens to other worlds, alien environments, or mythical realm...

Andy Byrne – Some fx stuff at random for the project Worlds Collide for Riot. This isn’t even close to half of the stuff we had to do. I just grabbed a bunch of random things I could find and threw them together. We did about 90 shots in just under 3 months, all cg. In some cases we had a week to work on a sequence, other cases, a couple of days. Tons of TP, Fume, Maya, Houdini…the works.
