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

Ozu is one of those directors whose work inspired everyone who came after him. He was working at the same time as Welles and Curtiz, making movies that were just as important—movies about life, death, family, and marriage that were serene, melodic celebrations of nature and humanity that unfold slowly—a cinematic style that helped turn Ozu into a legend in film.

John Carpenter’s menacing theme for Halloween sends some into a panic and some smiling. Composed and performed by the man himself, Carpenter’s influences were Bernard Herrmann and Ennio Morricone, with whom Carpenter worked on The Thing. The opening sequence shares some similarities with a film that Carpenter adores, Roy Ward Baker’s Quatermass and the Pit.

I think we can all agree that one of the most tedious (and annoying) things you can do as a video editor is take time (that you don’t have) to create assets yourself. Sure, we’re always going to need them, but we rarely have the budget or creative energy to make them ourselves. And that’s pretty much why PremiumBeat’s annual Free Week exists — to save you time and money.

This category typically correlates to best picture but as we’ve seen with past winners like “Birdman,” that’s not always the case. Plenty of usual suspects in the mix like Kirk Baxter and the still unrewarded Tariq Anwar. There have been only four women who have won this category in the last 20 years and (for the moment) Chloe Zhao looks to be the best shot but there are six more months to go.
