To The Aotg.com Community,

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

Thank you Cinefex! - The Art of VFX

I wanted to thank their entire team for their excellent work over the past 40 years! I became one of your fans in 1997 with the issue 71 hidden in a small bookshop in Lausanne, Switzerland. I haven’t missed a single issue since and reading your articles has strengthened my decision to be part of this exciting industry, first as a compositing artist and then as a consultant. The Art of VFX was born out of this passion and I owe you a lot for that.

In 1997, I had started studying law at university in Australia. But actually I was more interested in filmmaking and ‘special effects’. One day, I was in the main street of the Sydney CBD when I randomly walked into one of the comic book stores there.

In researching some rental gear and resources for an upcoming project, I found myself falling down a VFX rabbit hole. There is a sequence in a upcoming project that will be relatively VFX heavy, and I wanted to find the best way to not only shoot the sequence, but also to assemble stock video elements, models, assets and textures. Then with that I would also know what remaining elements I would need to be create from scratch.
