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

Kristin here: Film franchises now make up a significant portion of Hollywood’s output, and that situation that is likely to linger, at least until we see even more blockbuster flops than in 2013. Prequels are one way of extending a franchise. They’re a risky proposition, though. These days, who ever thinks about Butch and Sundance: [...]

Christopher Nolan on directing and editing Incepti

Every January the Sundance Film Festival takes over Park City, Utah, but since 1995 the town has also played host to the festival's younger upstart sibling: Slamdance. Initially founded by a group of filmmakers who weren't accepted into Robert Redford's showcase, the Slamdance Film Festival has gone on to become a vital event in its own right — and one of its early discoveries was Christopher Nolan.

‘Inside Llewyn Davis’: Final Cut Pro Post

Fans of Joel and Ethan Coen’s eclectic brand of filmmaking should be thrilled with their latest effort, Inside Llewyn Davis. The story follows a struggling singer in the Greenwich Village folk scene in the early 1960s, just before Bob Dylan’s early career there. Llewyn Davis is played by Oscar Isaac, who most recently appeared in The Bourne Legacy. The story, though fictional, was inspired by the life of musician Dave Van Ronk, as chronicled in the book The Mayor of MacDougal Street.

Few directors have Martin Scorsese’s talent to tell entertaining stories about the seamier side of life. He has a unique ability to get us to understand and often be seduced by the people who live outside of the accepted norms. That’s an approach he’s used with great success in films like Taxi Driver, Goodfellas, Gangs […]

Our Fine Friends: Shane Reid, Editor

Shane Reid edits commercials over at Whitehouse Post. You know like this one for Samsung, and that one for Subaru. Not to mention this one for Toyota. You may have seen this newly released epic ad for Duracell. Yup, he was behind that one. We got to know each other a few years back and I quickly discovered not only what a choice editor Shane is, but also how much he really loves every step of the process. It’s passion all the way through.

Hackintosh Mac Pro Cylinder Created Using Trashcan

Remember the story a few weeks ago about how it would likely be impossible, or at least cost prohibitive, to build your own Mac Pro? Most of that is because it would likely cost more to buy each part and build on your own rig, than just buying the Cylinder itself. But factoring that out, could you build a Mac Pro that looks identical to the Apple’s new professional-grade rig? It’s already been done, and it looks darn close.
