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

With the recent Berberian Sound Studio and now The Editor, we’re in a bit of a giallo revival. Or, more accurately, the gory, gloriously art decorated Italian horror thrillers of the 1970s have inspired a new generation to pay homage in the form of their own meta-commentaries. Interestingly, Peter Strickland’s Berberian Sound Studio and this year’s Toronto-premiering The Editor both feature post-production crew as their protagonists. In Berberian Sound Studio, it was a foley artist; in The...

The Editor Review By Parker Mott !The tricky thing about parody is that it must have a deep affection for the targeted genre, and at the same time reserve space for a certain creative distance. With too much of the former, parodies tend to lose that slight (but necessary) belittlement quality and ultimately become way-

Délester le film de son poids superflu… me voilà qui jette par dessus bord ce qui pesait… parfois un plan, parfois une séquence… plouf ! J’enlève parce que ce n’est pas assez fort ou pas aussi fort que le reste. … Lire la suite →

You have to put images together in video editing to tell a story. You're a storyteller. It doesn't matter if you are editing a news package, a documentary, a film or an online feature using stills, It's all storytelling. Putting the images together to try and tell a story is video editing. Every edit should be made for the story. Before sequencing, action/reaction, movement, eye trace or continuity, there is the story (See guideline of six for more).

"The underlying idea is ... that the main occupation of the film editor should be the to put yourself in the role of the audience. What will the audience think at a certain moment, then what they will turn their eyes? About what they are supposed to think? What must they think And of course: What they should feel if you always consider (and any magician does), it is a kind of magician not in the supernatural sense, but an ordinary working magician "..
