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

“You’ll believe a man can fly.” So proclaimed billboards and posters across the nation in 1978, in anticipation of the December release of Richard Donner’s Superman — The Movie. It wasn’t an idle promise. Although the Man of Steel had been depicted in numerous TV shows and cartoons over the years, Donner’s film vowed something special: It would convince us that what we were seeing was actually happening. And the visual effects did, indeed, prove to be remarkable: Aided by a clever ...

Abrams-directed film. “Should we have it draped in covers and look like sandblown junk as Finn and Rey rediscover it?

What makes a good editor? “Listening is key. Listening to what directors and producers want and getting them there quickly,” according to Chi-Yoon Chung, a panelist at the 12th annual Prime Cuts event which celebrated the 2018 crop of Emmy®-nominated editors at the Television Academy’s Saban Media Center on Saturday, September 29.

It is more common today for editors to be working a great distance from where the production is being shot. Vancouver, Atlanta, New Orleans, Budapest – all are popular shooting locations because of subsidies and tax breaks. In the past, editors went on location. How else could anyone watch film dailies without the cutting room being close by? With digital technology, that is less necessary. Remote editing solutions will make it even less so. My first attempt at a remote editing session involve...
