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

Art is hard. Creativity is hard. Ditto clients, technical challenges, deadlines, impostor syndrome, repetitive strain injury, and burnout. The realist’s manual on the hazards of professional sound design runs many miles long. The staff of Designing Sound’s likely authored a couple of pages ourselves. Why so serious? At the end of the day, sound design […]

To end this month of “Burnout”, I thought it might be fun to reinterpret the theme title and take a look at the sound design for a classic series of racing games that bear the same name. So allow me if you will, to take you… back in time! The year was 2001. It was the […]

ablo Larrain’s Jackie is easily the most emotionally-thorough take on the former First Lady’s life and trials, and that’s quite the feat considering Ms. Kennedy was one of the most iconic figures of 20th century America. Part of the way in which Larrain manages to convey this serious and sincere emotionality is through the soundtrack, both the ambient one and the one provided by the film’s composer, Mica Levi, who became the fourth woman ever nominated for Best Original Score, an accompl...

We are in highly creative, highly competitive, deadline-driven fields, and as such, over-exertion and long hours are often the norm. I’m been through the delirium of long crunches dozens of times and have unfortunately seen amazingly talented people fall victim to the stresses and exhaustion, ending their careers and leaving the creative field far too […]
