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

2015 Oscar Predictions: Best Original Score

October 6, 2014, 09:58 AM

Here are our predictions for Best Original Score, which seems to us to currently be a battle of the music tied to British genius biopics: Johann Johannsson's for "The Theory of Everything" and Alexandre Desplat's for "The Imitation Game." Recent winners Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross are getting raves for "Gone Girl" too, though it's not exactly the traditional score that typically thrives here (but hey, neither was "The Social Network" and they won for that). As for what's still to come, Desplat...

If there’s a more prolific and undeniably gifted composer of movie scores out there then I will eat my hat (I won’t really so don’t bother Googling it) It makes sense that he’d be rather good at his job now considering he’s been doing it for over 30 years and composed music for somewhere in the range of 100 films.

A few months ago I came across a Twitter post made by Stephan Schütze (a recent Designing Sound contributor) that continues to resonate with me (no pun intended) and I wanted to share it with anyone in the sound design community that has yet to hear these sounds.
