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

Day 3 Teaching Documentary Filmmaking With Insane

August 12, 2016, 05:54 AM

http://editstock.com/blogs/all/day-3-teaching-docu...

  On the third day we are going to edit the documentary Insane Mountain Biking. This project is the story of Andrew Ingram, a talented mountain biker who is sponsored by several athletics apparel companies, talking about his dream to become a professional cyclist. What I like about this project is that we show a what the bulk of edited projects really are: interviews intercut with b-roll. Our first lesson is to cut down a ten minute interview into a three minute string out. Students will ...

Day 4: Teaching Music Montage and Parallel Action

August 12, 2016, 05:53 AM

http://editstock.com/blogs/all/day-4-teaching-musi...

The project for day four was Incubate. This commercial is for a real phone app that lets you leave messages for people up to thirty years into the future. The commercial features a chase scene between a group of zombie women and a man who has the last can of water on earth. What I love about this commercial is the parallel action during the chase. Most of the commercial was filmed MOS, which places more emphasis on the story that the video and music tell since they must guide the editor.More

Day 1: Teaching Scripted Drama with Pool Party. “Don’t write because you want to say something. Write because you’ve got something to say.” - F. Scott Fitzgerald One of my favorite project for beginners is the Pool Party scene from the film Reflection. This project includes a script and storyboards along with the footage. What makes this project so great is that there is a lot of subtext to the dialog in scene three when the kids are at the pool deck.More
