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

Is Edgar Wright The Last Dodo of Visual Comedy?

Only a couple of weeks after his excellent video essay on Steven Spielberg and the Art of Oners, Tony Zhou is back with another excellent video, making a long overdue point and, in the process, praising one of the last comedy masters: Edgar Wright.

FCG051 – Paint the B-Roll, Donesies (feat. Jesse

Jesse’s got mad chops and a LONG history in this business. He is known in the Bay Area as a “fixer” when you are stumped trying to get your project out the door, Jesse is the guy you go to. This is a long episode but Jesse is an extremely interesting dude. I thought about cutting it down but couldn’t pick anything to drop. So forgive me for taking so much of your time but I think you’ll enjoy Jesse Spencer.

This isn’t a confession. There isn’t enough time in the day to address all of my issues. Despite all of my failings, I’m proud to say that I put myself in situations where I expect to fail. Yes, in a way, I try to fail. You might say that I’m very successful at failing too.

OK here it is. If you are not successful right now, you have two choices. Give up or keep going. But know that true success, true mastery, is something that takes dedication and a great deal if time.

There are a number of reasons to have some discipline about how you organize your bins. One of the main ones is that open bins require RAM, and the more items in an open bin, the more RAM will be sucked up. So, by limiting the items in your bins and limiting the number of...

Is Grit Stifling Our Creativity?

May 29, 2014, 03:33 AM

http://www.creativitypost.com/psychology/is_grit_s...

Stressed out, relentless, martyrdom is often viewed as part and parcel of success. From the sleepless persona of the Tech entrepreneurs, to the ubiquitous chatter around “grit,” tenacity has become synonymous with achievement. Yet, new emergent research is illustrating that perhaps dogged determination has been glamorized far beyond its usefulness.
