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

It's about writing but I think this applies to us in post, editors, VFX, animation, everything.

Should documentaries bookend vérité with imitation? On the second of its inaugural three days, the Tribeca Film Institute (TFI)/A/E Films Feature Documentary Storytelling Workshop at the newly opened Made in NY Media Center by IFP turned its discerning eye to the issue of recreations in a form that presupposes a measured degree of honesty. Leading the roundtable discussion amongst participating filmmakers and industry members, producer Simon Chinn and TFI's Director of Documentary Programming ...

Never has a television series been so unpredictable or dismissive in its dealings with main characters and so dense in its storylines. One of the show’s editors Oral Ottey describes a typical season’s work in this trans-global fantasy horror series that has gripped its audience.

The new iPads look fantastic, and will certainly be a huge success. But their launch lacked a story of why they exist. Does Apple still have vision?

A lot of focus on Day 2 was the transition IT based / Networked Media sessions.The trend (of course) for production centers is to networks, where everyone in the production centre is interconnected. But is this quite the utopia it sounds? There will, we learned, still be headaches for the engineers who have to plan and install them.The phrase "of the shelf" products for Networked Media needs qualifications. You cannot achieve the performance we need by combining different systems and s...

This is part 2 of 3 detailling my processes as an editor on an animated series - for part one see "Editing an Animatic".As in the previous post, the following notes relate to my specific experiences - mainly as editor on a 52 x 11 minute animation series. Review stages and timings vary significantly for features and other forms, and in my experience by project too. This workflow is based more on a CG workflow within a 3D* environment, although the principles of the early stages are similar...
