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

We've been talking a lot about emotional response recently on RedShark with reference to pristine imagery. But it seems that sometimes the worse the footage looks, the better the audience response. And now you can try it for yourself with Rarevisions' VHS Camcorder app!

Some call Solo: A Star Wars Story a space western, and it fits. Titled after the hero, Han Solo, the film finds the franchise’s beloved scoundrel in his early 20s, a decade before he meets Luke and Leia in A New Hope. In this film, the cynical outlaw partners with Chewbacca for the first time, and wins gambler Captain Lando Calrissian’s iconic Millennium Falcon. It’s the second installment in the Star Wars anthology of stand-alone films and it has chase scenes, romances, double-crosses, a ...

Film Scoring and the Studio

And composer Ariel Marx knew that already. A fast-emerging composer, the NYC-based Marx can play many instruments, but she clearly has a string affinity, deployed most recently on the new film To Dust starring Géza Röhrig and Matthew Broderick. That’s where she wields her mastery of violin and viola via innovative ways, taking them to a sinister space.

Emmy-Contending Editors Finish Stories With Smart

When aliens and imaginary worlds come into play, it falls on editors to create a pace and tempo that helps us believe they’re real. Sometimes this means holding on an actor’s reaction to visual effects that they haven’t even seen yet; other times it can mean showing us just enough of the invented world to make us yearn for more.

Emmy Contenders for VFX Create Mind-Bending Visual

With astonishing processing power and top-notch teams that know how to create high-end visual effects on a tight budget and timeline, vfx artists routinely turn in shots that thrill TV audiences. But visual effects must also support story and characters in invisible ways. And there’s even resistance to becoming a show known for its effects.

Composers Vie for Emmy With Music for Diverse Stor

Music for television is now as diverse as it has ever been — from traditional orchestra to electronica, from cool jazz to hip-hop beats. That’s partly the result of the vast increase in production in recent years, but also a matter of showrunners’ wide-ranging musical tastes.

Black Mirror's VFX Super on USS Callister

Each episode of Black Mirror is designed to be memorable in its own way, but none so far have spun what appears at first to be a mere goofy period romp into an emotionally complex depiction of covert malevolence quite like the feature-length opener of the show’s fourth season, USS Callister. Brilliant but overlooked Robert Daly (Jesse Plemons, once the beloved Landry of Friday Night Lights) is the creator behind an online gaming world for which his savvier, more personable business partner, Wa...
