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

How to Cut a Trailer for a Movie Where No One Spea

After seeing The Tribe at Fantastic Fest last year, my third question was how they could possibly market it. The film has zero spoken dialogue, and all the sign language (which is Ukrainian) comes without subtitles attached. It’s a modern silent film without interstitial marquees that features unabated diagetic sounds and graphic, sometimes sexualized violence. I didn’t have long to think about how to advertise something this experimental, though, because I had to hop into a screening of Lar...

In a way, John Underkoffler's like Hollywood's own Wizard of Oz. He's the man behind the curtain responsible for infusing blockbuster fantasy with real-world tech. He created the futuristic UI in Minority Report, worked on the timeline for Hulk's transformation and found a Soviet fusion reactor to blow up Stark Industries in Iron Man. He also recently received the Cooper Hewitt National Design Award for his work as an interface designer both in films and in the real world.

http://www.creativeplanetnetwork.com/news/post/jig...

For postproduction on filmmaker Alex Gibney’s HBO documentary Sinatra: All or Nothing at All, Technicolor PostWorks New York collaborated with Gibney’s production team and editors from Jigsaw New York. Airing on HBO as a four-hour miniseries, the film tells the story of Sinatra’s life and career leading up to his famous 1971 “retirement concert” in Los Angeles. Unusually, the documentary is composed almost entirely from archival material—there are no new on-camera interviews. Rather,...
