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

Sorry that I haven’t posted in a while. My latest gig on Warren the Ape has kept me VERY busy lately. That and two side projects that are running concurrently. A lot to do, and little time left for much else.

EDIT FEST NY - A Screenwriters Perspective
June 24, 2010, 12:45 PM
http://thescreenwritinglife.blogspot.com/2010/06/e...
I met one of my professional heroes today -- film editor Thelma Schoonmaker. She was a guest panelist at EditFest NY this weekend. The seminar took place at the Director's Guild of America in Manhattan. What is EditFest? It's two days of information, education and networking with some of the best editors in the movie and television industry today. It's presented by American Cinema Editors (ACE) and Manhattan Edit Workshop.
Movement in Every Edit (well almost every edit)

I’m a big fan of movement. I like to have as much movement in a story as I possibly can. I often base my edit decisions on movement. If I’m choosing between two shots, I’ll choose motion over a better composed shot with no action happening in the shot. We are a visual medium. Give your viewer as much to look at as they possibly can handle. Our story for this post is It’s Bad.
EditFest with Alan Heim & Bobbie O'Steen

I just moderated my third panel for EditFest, and although this had only one panelist, it was enough for a feast, because that panelist was the very gifted and gracious Alan Heim. Alan chose to discuss and show clips from Star 80, director Bob Fosse’s final film, which was an unconventional decision.
Whitehouse Adds Editor Reeves to U.S. Roster

Editor Stewart Reeves joins The Whitehouse, Bicoastal/Chicago/London for Stateside representation. Based in Sydney, Australia, Reeves continues to be repped there by The Editors, Sydney. His recent output includes spots for A-list directors Noam Murro, Tim Godsall, Steve Rogers and Tom Kuntz to name a few. The editor has developed a reputation for effectively combining a keen rhythmic and visual sense with an eye for offbeat comedy.
Wii Controller for Editing

So, for those who haven’t been following long at home, this is the third creative controller that I have put together. I promise this isn’t going to become a "Combine X with Y and use it to control Final cut Pro!" blog. This one is clean and simple so I figured I’d put it up and share how it works.

The 2010 NAB Convention had the Post Production world buzzing about the Three A's of the Industry: Apple, Adobe, and Avid. Well, really more Adobe and Avid since they were actually at the show and had something to demonstrate.
