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

It was a night full of stars, upsets, and a bizarre format. The 93rd Academy Awards were a feat to behold. They began with a classy tracking shot through Union Station, where the awards were held due to COVID this year.

Today, we’re talking with Pippa Ehrlich, who – as editor, writer and director – just won a BAFTA and was nominated for an Oscar for her very first feature production. She also just won the ACE Eddie for Best Edited Documentary (feature), My Octopus Teacher. The film was also directed by James Reed and was also written and edited by Dan Schwalm who couldn’t join us for this discussion.

The veteran — who was once told "You can’t carry a [film] can like a man, and we don’t want to have to watch our language around you" — will be honored Saturday with a career achievement award by the American Cinema Editors.

The American Cinema Editors guild, which hands out its awards on April 17, has a good track record as a preview of the Oscar winner for Best Picture (18 out of the last 30) and a great one for forecasting who will win the Film Editing Oscar (22 of the last 30). Not surprisingly, it is also fairly prescient when it comes to predicting the five Film Editing Oscar slots. Four of this year’s Academy Awards nominees contend for this cutting prize; “The Father” was snubbed by the American Cinema...

Whether it's revisiting a historical event or amplifying the confusion emanating from a lead actor, each of this year's Oscar-nominated film editors was faced with unique challenges to make their stories work.

The M1 architecture released by Apple late last year completely blew away the expectations of many tech enthusiasts, myself included. Now that the dust has settled after a few months for apps to grow into the new system, how well does the M1 chip handle photo and video editing?
