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

As part of their ongoing effort to gain recognition and acknowledgement for picture editors, the Motion Picture Editors Guild and the American Cinema Editors (ACE) launched a Petition for the Recognition of Editors in late June. The Committee for Creative Recognition, comprised of members from the Boards of Directors of both organizations, hopes to encourage film festivals and other organizations (both domestic and international) that present awards for achievement to honor the vital...

This is an on-going post-production diary I'm keeping while I cut my first feature film, The Impersonators, an indie comedy. To my delight, this year has been filled with many opportunities to get advice and tips on editing from some...

(In Spanish) A great idea that has circulated on the Internet a few months ago, I communicated here when I heard about it, made me have a good time this summer. As I mentioned then, it was a fitting contest free and open to everyone. The aim was to reduce public domain film less than 5'50"'. Well, was not meant to be a.

(In Spanish) I kind of memory over the second assembly for the contest assembly 90 to 5 Editing Challenge, which was to reduce public domain film within 5'50''. In another entry I talked this over assembly, and some decisions I made, which was the first film to present: Hiroshima mon amour.

It's easy to get swept up in the surge of gratuitous imagery delivered by Imaginary Forces for their main-on-end titles to 21 Jump Street. Amongst the mix of drugs, sex, horse cock, and explosions on the order of ridiculous, there lies a masterful choreography of color and motion.

The two have been working closely on several projects including: Crazy Heart, Public Enemies, and Captain America: The First Avenger. Jeffrey's work shows a wide range of pacing, storytelling...

Films can be shot in Toronto or Montreal or Mumbai. They can be set in Ireland, Indonesia or on Mars. But they are all made in the same small place: the editing suite. It's where good performances and bad ones are created — for better or worse.

A documentary called Side by Side (http://sidebysidethemovie.com) that exposes the replacement of analogue by digital media in the world of film, will have great filmmakers like Martin Scorsese, David Lynch or Lars Von Trier. A part of directors, in the film, there will be the wise words of many more filmmakers (web all normbres).
