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

When it came time to select a mixer for the first trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens, the core team behind the movie turned to Will Files. A longtime Dolby Atmos® mixer, Files has worked with Star Wars writer, director, and producer J.J. Abrams on films like Star Trek Into Darkness, and that résumé more than likely had something to do with him getting the nod to work on the biggest, and most secretive, project Abrams has undertaken to date.

Not long after he joined Twitter for what seemed to be the express purpose of enthusing about his favorite things, Guillermo Del Toro dropped some kind words about Carter Burwell, citing him as one of his favorite composers before concisely summing up why: “The voice of the Coens. Majestic Melancholy. Music of images and moods. Sublime defeat and crushed hopes.”

Directed by John Crowley, Brooklyn is an artfully voiced narrative of Ellis (Saoirse Ronan), an Irish immigrant from the small, cobblestone town of Enniscorthy, Ireland as she finds her way through 1950s New York City. Having left her mother (Jane Brennan) and sister Rose (Fiona Glascott) for the attraction of America, her isolated, homesick outlook swiftly vanishes after meeting a kind-hearted Italian (Emory Cohen). After a tragedy strikes home, Eilis must decide between her new life and th...

We talk about how cities and buildings look. We call places landmarks or eyesores. But we rarely talk about how architecture sounds, aside from when a building or room is noisy.

When rerecording mixer Chris Jenkins got a call from music composer Tom Holkenborg about working on Mad Max: Fury Road, saying yes, was the easy part. But what took place over the following months was a collaboration the mixer won’t soon forget. “When Tom asked me if I was interested in being part of the project, he had been already working with George Miller on music themes for over a year,” said Jenkins. “George’s first Mad Max film was mind-blowing. Everyone loved it, so when To...

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...

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.
