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

The 2011 Oscars are just around the corner, so this seems like a good time to reflect on what award-winning editing is all about. I’ve had the good fortune, thanks to my work with Videography magazine, to interview an inspiring collection of some of the best film editors in the world. You can click on the "filmmakers" category on the side panel to access these stories, but in honor of the Oscars, I’ve aggregated them for easy access here.

The editing on the movie is refreshingly traditional: Invisible edits, no quick cutting, odd or repeated angles, discontinuity, fancy VFX, in-your-face edits, or music video-type montage sequences. In fact, there are no montage sequences at all and I didn’t miss them. The editing matched the story, as it should, regardless of style. Just as modern style editing plays a vital role in making The Black Swan a strong, edgy movie so traditional style serves Made in Dagenham.

What stifles creativity? Tedious third party rudeness, fear of appearing the fool, fear of failure (stigmatizing mistakes), fear of authority, fear of bucking the team or the trend?

While a large portion of both the media creation and consumption industries gear up to produce and support 3D films and video, others are digging in their heels and asking about the fit and fabric of the emperor’s clothes. Much loved sound designer and film editor Walter Murch - as well as film curmudgeon critic Roger Ebert - are two of those questioners.

Has it really gotten that bad that we’ve resorted to looking for work by stapling flyers to telephone poles?

Both Golden Globes trophies for best motion picture went to movies that were edited using Apple's Final Cut Studio. The Social Network won the award for best movie drama, and The Kids Are All Right won in the best movie comedy category.

Compositing and the modern mise en scene – This is the title of a presentation i made at the recent Film History conference at the University of New South Wales. I recorded the lecture and have posted it here as a podcast. It explores the conceptual and compositional paradigm of layered CGI compositing and attempts to comprehend the unique qualities of digital compositing as an architectural process.
