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 never been to film editing school, but I’m pretty sure that if there is such a thing, they’re teaching the Mexican standoff scene from Sergio Leone’s THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE UGLY. You know the scene I’m talking about, it comes right at the film’s climax and involves the characters portrayed by Clint Eastwood, Lee Van Cleef, and Eli Wallach locked in a staring contest over just who’s going to walk away with the loot. It’s the scene that launched a thousand gifs and it is a...

More and more, films that are currently in production are working alongside with their marketing teams to establish a strategy months in advance of its release. That means that there’s more time to explore several options when crafting a trailer, but the workload also becomes heavier, and the stakes become higher. Avid Media Composer editors Christian Jhonson and Patricio Hoter (The Jungle Book, The Last Witch Hunter, Green Room, Titanic 3D, and more) explore this evolving artform.

A Look at the Techniques of Thelma Schoonmaker

Of all our modern directors, there is perhaps none with a more eidetic memory than Martin Scorsese; defined as an ability to recall precise images, sounds and objects, three of the main elements of motion pictures, Scorsese seems to remember every shot in every film he has ever seen, and probably some films he hasn't seen yet. It's what makes him such a complete filmmaker; he's a master of technique, able to conjure any cinematic effect he likes, and yet he never makes a film that feels less tha...

The Art of Editing: a Craft History

Last February I shared a video of editor Eddie Hamilton talking at an Avid event about his career and how he worked his way through two drastically different editing experiences, Kick-Ass and X-Men First Class. A reader commented, wondering what was all the fuss about editors, since they seemed to him to be technicians doing what they were asked to by the (real artistic force behind a movie) director.
