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

For Joe Walker, editing “Sicario,” Denis Villeneuve's hit thriller about the ever-growing war on drugs at the U.S./Mexican border, presented opportunities for creative ways of working. “My strategy was really just to enjoy these dailies that I was getting from Roger Deakins, and just be really rhythmic and muscular about it,” he explains as he chats via webcam from his editing suite (watch below).

Before Edgar Wright and Wes Anderson, before Chuck Jones and Jackie Chan, there was Buster Keaton, one of the founding fathers of visual comedy. And nearly 100 years after he first appeared onscreen, we’re still learning from him. Today, I’d like to talk about the artistry (and the thinking) behind his gags.

We all know that mistakes happen. But when hundreds of millions of dollars are on the line, you would think that people would pay even closer attention to detail. In the world of movie-making, the opposite is true. The bigger the movie… the bigger the mistakes. They’re not all bad, and plenty of them can be downright hilarious. Either way, fans won’t want to miss a single one of them. Here are Screen Rant’s 10 Biggest Editing Mistakes in Movies.
