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 be a hero to your kids (by editing that is)

Many editors work in anonymity, often alone, sometimes never seeing a client, usually without the praise that is given to the director or producer. And that might be just from those who hire us and collaborate on our work. What we do might be even more mysterious to our family. Looking back on 2015 I was fortunate enough to have a brief period in the fall where I was working a few different videos that made me look like a the coolest dad in the world to my kids.

Jake Roberts was always going to go into filmmaking. Just what path he’d take was up for consideration. The son of a screenwriter, he grew up around people talking about movies and would bury his head in scripts.

Steve Jobs

https://digitalfilms.wordpress.com/2016/01/02/stev...

It’s challenging to condense the life of a complex individual into a two-hour-long film. So it’s no wonder that the filmmakers of Steve Jobs have earned both praise and criticism for their portrayal of the Apple co-founder. The real Steve Jobs generated differing emotions from those who knew him or those who viewed his life […]
