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

If the first film review in Variety is any indication, Director David Fincher’s film adaptation of Gillian Flynn’s bestselling novel Gone Girl will be well worth the price of admission. Many filmgoers will see the movie because they like the actors, the genre, or because they’ve read the book. Many others will go because they love Fincher’s vigorous storytelling, his impeccable pacing, and his striking visual style.

Here are our predictions for Best Original Score, which seems to us to currently be a battle of the music tied to British genius biopics: Johann Johannsson's for "The Theory of Everything" and Alexandre Desplat's for "The Imitation Game." Recent winners Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross are getting raves for "Gone Girl" too, though it's not exactly the traditional score that typically thrives here (but hey, neither was "The Social Network" and they won for that). As for what's still to come, Desplat...

It's hard not to get chills as soon as the Gone Girl soundtrack kicks in, and that's exactly what the composers were going for.

In 1999, George Lucas's "The Phantom Menace" sent studios and theater owners into a tizzy. Along with the standard film prints, Lucasfilm rolled out a select number of "digital projection" test screenings for the latest "Star Wars" installment. The New York Times reported on the awestruck audiences, a mix of film enthusiasts, technophiles, and "Star Wars" geeks. One 17-year-old exclaimed, "All my friends who've seen it before are coming to see it again in 'dij',''

How does a person know when he or she has become a master at something? Editors at every level, from students to established professionals, question their creative abilities. From one day to the next, their feelings can go from total confidence to utter hopelessness. One reason for this emotional fluctuation is that editors lack a concrete method of measuring their progress. Their feelings are usually based on isolated events (e.g., screenings) that can go well or go poorly dependin...
