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

You have to love standards, imagine a world where your toaster used a different power supply than your refrigerator , or your plumbing be a mish mash of pipes, or when you go the hardware store to get a new door knob, it didn't fit in your door. Imagine now preparing videos 4 or 5 times for different devices and imagine if you just had to do it once.

If you are a picture editor easily frustrated by change, you're in the wrong business. Over the past six months I've worked on: a 3-D movie shot on 35mm 8 perf film and cut on Final Cut Pro 7 (FCP 7); a series shot on the RED camera and cut on Avid Media Composer (AMC) 5.0.3; a promo trailer shot on P2 and GoPro cameras; a destination film shot on 35mm 8 perf film and cut on FCP 6; a feature length scripted show shot on the Canon 5D and edited on AMC 5.5.3; a sizzle reel editing on AMC 6.0...
