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

Conventional Oscar wisdom is that musicals are favored in this category, along with complex, layered action movies. That would make Damien Chazelle’s “La La Land” a strong contender, but his naturalistic, low key approach to the song performances may not play well with the sound branch. Peter Berg’s disaster recreation “Deepwater Horizon” and Mel Gibson’s World War II actioner “Hacksaw Ridge” are competing against massive effects spectacles like “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story...

Movies with scale and scope have the advantage in the sound categories. And with a $30 million budget, “La La Land” is a relatively modest contender.

Sound designer Robert Mackenzie started working fairly early on during the editing of Hacksaw Ridge, the true story of conscientious objector Desmond Doss (Andrew Garfield) and his heroism at the Battle of Okinawa. The picture department needed battle sounds, especially since director Mel Gibson wanted to determine if the first battle sequence would play emotionally […] The post Contender – Sound Designer Robert Mackenzie, Hacksaw Ridge appeared first on Below the Line.
