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

The Power of Sound and Editing

When most people think about movies, they usually judge them in terms of acting and directing, rarely does a person judge its editing or sound mixing. The reason for that being is because most editors and sound editors do all they can to make their editing as smooth as possible for the audience. When editing and sound mixing is used correctly there’s a certain flow that’s required in a good movie, the movie seems...

The 63d Annual A.C.E. Eddie Awards

The annual A.C.E. Eddie Awards dinner reminds me of the Passover Seder. Each year, when Jewish families celebrate the exodus of Hebrew slaves from Egypt, the youngest child asks, “Why is this night different from all other nights?” (Ritual requires that four answers be given; these responses, each including the words “on this night,” have mysteriously become known as “the four questions.”)

Fernando Franco talks about Blancanieves

February 16, 2013, 04:09 PM

http://editorunderconstruction.blogspot.com/2013/0...

Blancanieves –a Spanish, black and white, silent film– is an original version of the Grimm Brothers fairy tale ‘Snow White’. The film crew has managed to push through the idea of Pablo Berger, director, and screenwriter with a laudable result. Aesthetically, this film redeems black and white cinema, to a certain extent, but that is only a part.

An Eye for Color

Like a musician hears music, a Colorist needs to see color. It’s just that simple. You can watch all the tutorials, and learn all the software and hardware that is available. But at the end of the day, if you can’t see color then it is all for nothing.
