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

By Ron DiCesare In 1990, I was working at a music studio where I did a lot of cut downs of 60s, 30s, 15s and 10s for TV and radio commercials. Back then we used ¼-inch analog tape with a razor blade to physically cut the tape. Since I did so many ¼-inch tape edits, Continue reading →March 3, 2016

It’s no coincidence that Bill Brown dreamt the score that would later become Dominion’s Season 2 opening theme. The bold combination of thunderous pulsating electronic grit and swaying organic cello melodies form a perfect musical backdrop for a post-apocalyptic confrontation between humans and angels.

SFX Entertainment is openly seeking a buyer for Fame House. Bankruptcy court filings reveal that SFX creditors do not view the digital music marketer as a core asset, which presumably they see as centered around the company's portfolio of major EDM festivals.
