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

The end of World War II ushered in the advent of regular television programming. It was not the overnight sensation that many would imagine. The DuMont Television Network launched what Newsweek called "the country's first permanent commercial television network" on August 15, 1946, connecting New York City with Washington, DC.

THIS MONTH IN FILM HISTORY

Because the shortsighted Hollywood film industry did not want anything to do with the new invention called television in the mid-1940s, the radio industry took over the burgeoning medium. New York became the dominant center for the first decade of TV, as the radio studios were located in Manhattan.

Tips for Running a Successful Editing Corp.

The video production landscape has changed dramatically in the past five years. In early 2011 I left a full-time job as a Senior Editor at a full-service production company and set up my own post shop. Such an undertaking would have been next to impossible a few short years ago - the cost of purchasing professional video decks alone would have run into the tens of thousands.
