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

Editing Oscar: Is it no longer linked to Best Pict

November 8, 2015, 03:56 PM

As we launch the Best Editing category in our Oscars predictions center, we must note that the category is known for its close correlation with Best Picture. Since 1981, every Best Picture winner has at least been nominated in this category -- except one. Last year "Birdman" became the first film in more than three decades to buck that trend; it was snubbed for Best Editing, but won Best Picture anyway. Does that mean the link between the categories is broken, or do you think last year's outcome...

Software and engineering

My wife sent me a link to this article by Ian Bogost, because she knows the “are programmers engineers?” thing is a pet peeve of mine. I liked the article, and I think Bogost presents a good rundown of the problems in software engineering, but ultimately, I can’t go along with his main thesis. While I agree that programmers aren’t (in general) engineers, it isn’t for the reasons he gives.
