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

Susan Perla, CBS news editor, reported on her 16-hour days following the obliteration of the World Trade Center: The images that I could not air were pretty awful. I do think about some of the footage and it disturbs me. I hope that as I work with people, I can bring humanness to any aspect...

Earlier this week, I posted an article detailing a very long and unfortunately boring raw scene I edited and the steps I took to make it better. Long scenes that consist of 2 characters talking are extremely tricky to pull off. The challenge is finding ways to cut things out that aren't working without sacrificing...

Here are a few more riffs on bad editing from an anonymous editor who watched the 197 episodes of Mystery Science Theater 3000), a comedy series from Minnesota's twin cities that ran from 1988-1999 mostly on Comedy Central and is now available on DVD. The editor's comments are on the first line in purple as...

I spent a lot of time experimenting with footage from 17 West's upcoming short film The Climb. When we shot the film, the intention was always to try different things and evolve as an editor. The majority of my editing experience lies in the fast paced world of live television. As you can imagine, there...

I was doing some turning out in England the other day because I'm selling my apartment there, recalls British film editor Anne V. Coates who made a surprising discovery. I came across this letter which said, Dear Mr. Spiegel, I don't think I can cut Lawrence of Arabia [1962] for the money you're offering.

Thunder is the 3rd story on my Editor of the Year entry. This is an effects driven story. You just don’t really see the effect. That’s what you want when you use effects, to have the viewer not see them. When you go to a movie and the effects aren’t believable the effects become a...
