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

So far in this chapter, we’ve talked about the components that every story needs (the narrative arc) and why it’s important that stories have those components — to elicit an emotional reaction. But we’ve only talked about the stories, or the output. What we’ve neglected to talk about is you, the storyteller . . . and what you need to do in order to make your stories memorable. Dummies2 As you create stories, keep the 6 Cs in mind. Here’s what each C stands for: Read from Onli...

“The editing room for the documentary, Making ‘The Shining’ (1980), which was directed by Stanley Kubrick’s 17-year-old daughter, Vivian. Lining a shelf on the wall are Betamax video transfers of the over fifty hours of footage that Vivian shot during the production. These videotapes, as well as her original negative, are housed in the Stanley Kubrick Archive in London. They are not currently accessible by the public. The typewriter that Vivian used during her work is the same prop Adler...

If you ask a colorist what they do to make actors look good on screen, they’ll tell you that they just watch the monitor and make them look “right” for the scene. While truthful, that advice doesn’t help the rest of us that don’t have their experience at seeing and adjusting color.

Something between a black MIDI glissando and a brown note, the THX "Deep Note" is one of the world's most recognizable audio logos, signaling the highest quality audio standard in films. Parodied by The Simpsons and sampled by Dr. Dre (which got him sued), at peak popularity the THX Deep Note was played in front of 4,000 movie theater audiences a day, or around once every 20 seconds. Yet despite its distinctive crescendo, the THX Deep Note wasn't actually composed so much as it was programmed, w...
