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

John Ottman Talks X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST

Over the past two decades, whenever Bryan Singer made a movie, he usually turned to John Ottman to compose the score and edit the film (the only exception being the first X-Men movie). During their fruitful partnership, the two have enjoyed success in multiple genres, culminating most recently with X-Men: Days of Future Past, which is currently the number one movie around the world.

Failure Isn’t Fatal

Failure is something we fear but is inevitable for growth. I know in my own life, whenever I’m not “failing” it usually means I’m not challenging myself. In the short term things may seem to stay the same but that is rarely true in a creative business. You either grow or you die and growth requires a temporary surrender of security.

What skills are good to have when leading creative people? In this Client Blog post, I’ll give some thoughts and (hopefully) insight into hiring, managing and leading a team of creative people. Everything I’ll talk about here is from the perspective of a creative and leader of an internal team of writers, producers, and designers, something I’ve been doing for a few years – and while there are no BTS videos or key art sketches in this post, it will provide a view behind one client’s cu...

Comic Book Movies and the Forgotten Art of the End

May 25, 2014, 12:56 PM

During the summer of 2008, as the credits scrolled past, and we sat giddily contemplating how much fun we’d just had watching Iron Man, Samuel L. Jackson sauntered out of the shadows to chat with Tony Stark about “the Avengers initiative.” This could have been a one-off appearance, but it was effectively the Big Bang of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the umbrella franchise and shared setting for a small battalion of Marvel superheroes which now spans nearly a dozen movies and at least one ...

Are You Mentally Tough?

May 23, 2014, 09:58 AM

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

People who are mentally tough have a psychological edge that enables them to cope better than their opponents with the many demands that sports place on a performer, and they are also more consistent and better than their opponents in remaining determined, focused, confident, and in control under pressure.
