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

Avid’s latest version of its Avid Media Composer editing system offers support for high dynamic range (HDR) workflows, so users can now edit and grade projects using new color specs that display a greater dynamic range than standard video. The new version also features a more intuitive interface, making the tool more friendly to those editors who also work on Premiere Pro or Final Cut. With what the company calls “better-organized tools,” the Media Composer’s tools and interface ele...

Jack Kinney went to work at Walt Disney Productions in 1930, and departed twenty-eight years later in 1957. In-between he directed features and shorts, although he claimed always to enjoy Disney short-form projects better, most likely because he wasn't micr-managed by Walt.

“My first idea,” Peter Greenaway said, “was to make a documentary about what happened with the non-edit of this film, which was so close to his heart and mind and which forever afterwards he always regretted not finishing. So I went down to Mexico and Guanajuato and was fascinated by its ‘Museum of the Dead.’ Then I began writing dialogue—which is a completely un-documentary activity. There is a deliberate free-association, shall we say, of fact and fiction. There’s no such thing a...
