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

There's an old Yorkshire saying: "If tha ever does owt for nowt, do it for thi sen". For those who don't speak fluent Tyke, it translates like this: "If you ever do something for nothing, do it for yourself". These are words that all creatives should have tattooed on their drawing arm.

Now that the mysterious, so-called “12 Year Project” has hit theaters under the name “Boyhood,” Richard Linklater is very deservedly receiving all the plaudits in the world for successfully shepherding such a daunting, ambitious and ultimately touching project to fruition. After all, he had to cast, finance, write and direct the years-long tale of a young Texan millennial — all while keeping all participants engaged and involved, which may have been the hardest part of all.

Today sees the premiere of 'Sharknado 2: The Second One.' Apart from the obvious high quality of the movie, there's an interesting post production story. The two editors who worked on the film used different editing applications.  Ana Florit worked in Final Cut Pro 7, Vashi Nedomansky used Adobe Premiere Pro CC. Scott Simmons asked: How did you integrate Premiere Pro into a traditional Final Cut Pro 7 workflow?So here’s how I seamlessly integrated Premiere Pro CC into a FCP7 work...
