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

I last talked to editor/composer John Ottman about “Jack the Giant Slayer” and loved hearing about his unique combination of roles, often working with his former classmate, director Bryan Singer. They collaborated again on X-Men: Days of Future Past and it was a pleasure to catch up with him to discuss the challenges as both editor and composer of working with so many characters and two different time periods.

Any creative person has to accept risk and the risk of failure. Not accepting risk will mean that your work will remain mediocre. Failure is part of the process of expanding your skill set and becoming better at whatever it is you do. It isn’t always pleasant, nor is it easy to deal with, but if you learn from that failure, it can be a building block that propels you on to even greater success. Looking back, I have found that I learn more from my failures than I do from my successes.

If there was an award for constant product development, it would go to Tim and Vincent at Arctic Whiteness. They have just released version 2 of their popular application for handling those FCPX libraries.

OS X has a large and impressive list of "hidden" shortcuts meant to make your life easier. Most of us do know about some of them, but I don't think there is one person that could know all of them. Mainly because each of us use our Macs in our very own ways, and the shortcuts and features that someone swears by may not be of much interest to you.

Over the past two decades, whenever Bryan Singer made a movie, he usually turned to John Ottman to compose the score and edit the film (the only exception being the first X-Men movie). During their fruitful partnership, the two have enjoyed success in multiple genres, culminating most recently with X-Men: Days of Future Past, which is currently the number one movie around the world.

Failure is something we fear but is inevitable for growth. I know in my own life, whenever I’m not “failing” it usually means I’m not challenging myself. In the short term things may seem to stay the same but that is rarely true in a creative business. You either grow or you die and growth requires a temporary surrender of security.

What skills are good to have when leading creative people? In this Client Blog post, I’ll give some thoughts and (hopefully) insight into hiring, managing and leading a team of creative people. Everything I’ll talk about here is from the perspective of a creative and leader of an internal team of writers, producers, and designers, something I’ve been doing for a few years – and while there are no BTS videos or key art sketches in this post, it will provide a view behind one client’s cu...
