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

Forty years ago, legendary editor Walter Murch was working late one night on a film for Francis Ford Coppola called The Conversation (starring Gene Hackman). Like always, Murch was going back and forth through the footage, over and over again, looking to make the perfect cuts...

Art for arts sake - or is it?

Those of us who work in a creative field for our livelihood, whether in production, post, graphic design, photography, etc. get paid to be creative on the spot. It takes a certain amount of mental skill and years of knowledge to be able to pull a rabbit out of your hat at the last minute or fly by the seat of your pants without looking like you're winging it. It can be emotionally exhausting and zap you of the desire to do anything creative when you're not working. I don't know about you, but af...

10 Monumental Milestones In Movie History

There are some movie milestones—first animated feature, first science fiction film, first on-screen death—that are so well known that they will be forever talked about in the realms of movie history. But other cinematic firsts tend to go unnoticed even though they’re also extremely important and deserve just as much attention.

Insider Insights On Indy Filmmaking: Post Producti

Now that you’ve wrapped production and have the illusion that the finish line is in sight, you’re probably very excited to get to the editing. In truth, the editing can be exciting…in small doses. The trick to successful editing is to fight your way through the monotony which will quickly settle in and overcome the bias that you have in hopes of empirically evaluating the actual work being done as well as the economy and success of the actual assembly in the telling of the story.

What marriage has taught me about my NLE

September 18, 2014, 04:44 AM

http://www.editvideofaster.com/marriedtoyournle/

I’ve been married to my wife for nearly two and a half wonderful years. I’ve been married to my NLE, Avid Media Composer, for twice that. What I’ve learned over that time is that the two relationships are fairly similar. I’m going to explain to you how lessons learned through your significant other directly relate to how you should work with your NLE.

Why It's Time to Remove the Stigma That Follows Ke

It is no small irony that a new film by Ken Burns, the director who has done more than any other to infuse life into the past, gets treated, by some, like an already-ossified product upon release. Whereas so much buzz surrounds the latest film festival darling — I haven’t seen it yet, but I’m hearing (and believing) that Joshua Oppenheimer’s "The Look of Silence" may be the greatest documentary ever — many of us give the latest work by Burns the same attention as the year’s edition o...
