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 Post-Heavy Iron Age

As you probably know, Danny Cahn, A.C.E., resigned his post as President of this Guild this past December, citing personal reasons. In keeping with the Guild constitution and by-laws, as Vice President, I have assumed the Presidency. In addition, Alan Heim, A.C.E., has been selected by the Board of Directors to fill my vacated position. Danny accomplished many things to the great benefit of our union during his two years in office, and I want to thank him for his service and wish him well in his...

Filmmaking's Quiet Heroes

The picture editor’s role in the creation of a movie has always been shadowed by the mystique of the film director. Many people think that the director is the guiding hand to the robot film editor. The director does little to discourage this idea in interviews with film critics, many of who themselves do not understand the editing process. Few histories of the movies even analyze the editing process, much less mention the editor. Sadly, because oral histories of film and sound editors were neg...

THE ORGANIZER'S TALE

With so many screens showing sequels, remakes, and generic plots readily reduced to loglines, it can seem as though our industry, while perhaps profligate in other respects, exercises extreme parsimony in its conservation of stories. As if out of fear of exhausting a natural resource, studios appear eager to repeatedly recycle the same few tales ad infinitum.

Editors Jim Helton and Ron Patane seem to be more than a team, when they collaborate with writer/director Derek Cianfrance on narrative and documentary films like Blue Valentine and now The Place Beyond the Pines, which opened in limited release March 29 through Focus Features.

"Production in the cloud has grown to a point where people are less confused about how it works, and they more fully understand the value of it. In fact, more people are making decisions on how they execute their shoots based on the tools and apps they can use that live in the cloud.
