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

The legendary editor is sitting in the Midtown Manhattan office where she cut Scorsese’s latest, his deeply felt spiritual epic about Jesuit priests in feudal Japan. Schoonmaker sits in between her monitors and those for Scorsese, added about a year ago so he could sit even closer to Schoonmaker while they worked. It makes for a jumble of screens, especially when the one devoted to Turner Classic movies is factored in. “This used to be quite a beautiful room,” Schoonmaker says with only mi...

If you’ve ever heard visual effects supervisor Steve Emerson talk about his job, or his most recent work on Kubo and the Two Strings, you’ve probably said to yourself, “Jeez, I so want to work at Laika.” Now, whether you’d want to ply your trade as a CG animator or arc welder is beside the point – Laika’s hands-on filmmaking philosophy, nuts and bolts production mindset and dedication to cutting edge hand-made movies is highly intoxicating. And no one embodies that “we’re kind ...

Now that we’ve all seen Rogue One five times and deconstructed the storyline, the characters and the visual effects, it’s fun to also consider how some of the iconic shots came to be. Of course, ILM and Lucasfilm’s art department crafted many of the incredible concepts, but some of the first shot designs were done by the previs team at The Third Floor.

We also discuss awards season, which kicked off with Sunday's Golden Globes; George Lucas' new museum; and how to manipulate aperture and light sensitivity.

I was so impressed by a friend's home VO booth build I wrote it up into a post. There are some really great ideas to make the most of a tiny space!

The following is my VR wish list for 2017: ten "stretch goals" across hardware, software, apps, content and distribution. While not all of these will deliver by year's end, I believe a certain amount of blue sky aspiration is in order for the good of the VR ecosystem. And despite an encouraging spate of AR/VR/MR announcements and demos at CES 2017 (check out UploadVR for the latest), we're not nearly there yet.

Editors are always looking for ways to make their editing workflow faster and more efficient, and one way of doing that is by putting the many keyboard shortcuts in Premiere Pro to good use. One key that does a ton of useful and powerful things is the Alt/Option key, and in this tutorial from Premium Beat, Jason Boone shows you all the ways you can use Alt/Option in Premiere to speed up your editing process.
