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 Editor for The Canadian Cinema Editors BY Park

The Editor Review By Parker Mott !The tricky thing about parody is that it must have a deep affection for the targeted genre, and at the same time reserve space for a certain creative distance. With too much of the former, parodies tend to lose that slight (but necessary) belittlement quality and ultimately become way-

Putting Images Together in Video Editing to Tell t

You have to put images together in video editing to tell a story. You're a storyteller. It doesn't matter if you are editing a news package, a documentary, a film or an online feature using stills, It's all storytelling. Putting the images together to try and tell a story is video editing. Every edit should be made for the story. Before sequencing, action/reaction, movement, eye trace or continuity, there is the story (See guideline of six for more).

it's the editors who are 'sort of unacceptable'

Legally Speaking, It Depends - Guild or Union PT2

Continuing on from part one, we’ll look more closely into the legal and business issues that arise from representation by either a Union or a Guild. Most of the following applies pretty much equally whether the representation is Union or Guild (hence the nomenclature adopted below, Union/Guild.) Hopefully you remember the distinction from the last time. Will there be a test? It depends…

Editing magic: History’s ‘Houdini’

September 4, 2014, 12:36 PM

http://postperspective.com/editing-magic-historys-...

By Randi Altman When asked about magicians or illusionists who push the boundary, most young people would immediately think of David Blaine or Criss Angel. But before either of them drank fire or locked themselves in a water-filled box in front of a crowd, there was Harry Houdini. An inspiration to this current spate of […]The post Editing magic: History’s ‘Houdini’ appeared first on postPerspective - Randi Altman's postPerspective.
