To The Aotg.com Community,

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

VFX & animation Oscars 2016

The number of nominations for Mad Max: Fury Road may be surprising for an unashamed action flick, but the films appearing in the categories we care about most offered no such surprises – except perhaps that Pixar's The Good Dinosaur was missing from the Best Animated Feature Film.

Film Editing: The Style That Will Never Be Capture

I was recently having a conversation with someone who you could consider a veteran of the editing world. We were discussing our approaches to storytelling and the pace at which we should be telling these stories. I’ve recently been editing and shooting a reality television show so this was one of many similar conversations. Our backgrounds are entirely different, yet our approaches coalesced when we discussed the types of stories we liked telling.

Say No To Spec : Cmd+Edit 026

We've all seen those horrific requests posted on forums like Craigslist or Mandy.com that ask for editors with ridiculous terms attached (usually incredibly low payment or nothing at all for editing long-form projects...but you get exposure!). Check out this one in particular though and see if you can spot what's wrong with it.
