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

Contenders – Sound Mixers/Editors Chris Jenkins,

The lines between genius and madness blur inside the mind of Brian Wilson as he’s portrayed in director Bill Pohlad’s Beach Boys biopic Love & Mercy, distributed by Roadside Attractions. Using sound, the film paints a beautiful and discordant picture of what Wilson hears in his head – the music and mania that make the man. Love & Mercy splits Wilson’s life into two distinct parts, the young Brian of the '60s (played by Paul Dano) in the time surrounding the "Pet Sounds" album, and...

For Hateful Eight's film editor - nothing's too ou

Film editor Fred Raskin recalls the evening of April 19, 2014, when he and more than a thousand other guests witnessed something special: a live reading inside the Theatre at Ace Hotel in downtown Los Angeles. The production being presented? The script for Quentin Tarantino's "The Hateful Eight," which the director was staging live because it had already been leaked online and he refused to make the film as a result. "He was really heated about it," actor Samuel L. Jackson told The Envelope. Tha...

'Joy' Editors - Russell Rewrites the Script in the

Joy editors Jay Cassidy and Alan Baumgarten speak to Deadline about their work on David O. Russell's latest film. "David approaches the whole process as a writer," says Cassidy. "He writes the script. When he's shooting he's constantly rewriting with the actors as they find the characters and in the editing he very much rewrites certain aspects of the story. And he's learned as a director on the set not to box himself into corners."

VR filmmakers are discovering the power of audio

The stereotype goes that when directors are figuring out how to frame a shot, they extend their arms, create a rectangle using their thumbs and index fingers, and peer through that box. And because movies and TV shows have traditionally been viewed on one kind of box or another, the process provides a rough gauge of what the scene will look like.

Eighty years ago, the Museum of Modern Art launched a new field. The New York institution’s film department, founded in 1935, was among the first of its kind to collect and preserve moving images. Over the decades, the collection became increasingly valuable: MoMA became one of the city’s major homes for repertory screenings, inspiring many generations of moviegoers, while developing its efforts to save thousands of films from oblivion.
