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

I’ve endlessly found myself in rooms of men and had the experience of feeling I wasn’t being heard. It’s a confidence thing. Jane Campion has talked about how women need to put on their armour. With Suffragette I was emboldened that there were so many women around me. We had a female writer, producers, production and costume designers.

Mission Impossible Editor Eddie Hamilton Interview

Cut too fast, and you risk completely disorienting the audience. Cut too slowly, especially during an action sequence, and you risk boring the audience. All of this is to say that editing an action film is a balancing act, and it takes a deft, experienced hand to get it right.

ROOFBOUW OP SCENARIO'S

Op bezoek laatst bij een van de Fondsen die film en televisie financieel ondersteunen werd mij door de directeur de buitengewoon wezenlijke vraag gesteld: ‘hoe krijgen we betere scenario’s?’, met daar meteen achteraan de vraag: ‘wat kunnen wij als overheidsfonds doen om betere scenario’s te krijgen’. ‘Nóg betere scenario’s bedoel je’, voegde ik er haastig aan toe. ‘Uiteraard’.

In fact, it was Charles Francis Jenkins who invented the Phantoscope, the patent for which found its way into Thomas Edison’s portfolio — where it somehow morphed into the Vitascope.

Color film was built for white people

For decades, the color film available to consumers was built for white people. The chemicals coating the film simply weren't adequate to capture a diversity of darker skin tones. And the photo labs established in the 1940s and 50s even used an image of a white woman, called a Shirley card, to calibrate the colors for printing...
