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

Kristin here: Film franchises now make up a significant portion of Hollywood’s output, and that situation that is likely to linger, at least until we see even more blockbuster flops than in 2013. Prequels are one way of extending a franchise. They’re a risky proposition, though. These days, who ever thinks about Butch and Sundance: [...]

Every January the Sundance Film Festival takes over Park City, Utah, but since 1995 the town has also played host to the festival's younger upstart sibling: Slamdance. Initially founded by a group of filmmakers who weren't accepted into Robert Redford's showcase, the Slamdance Film Festival has gone on to become a vital event in its own right — and one of its early discoveries was Christopher Nolan.

Fans of Joel and Ethan Coen’s eclectic brand of filmmaking should be thrilled with their latest effort, Inside Llewyn Davis. The story follows a struggling singer in the Greenwich Village folk scene in the early 1960s, just before Bob Dylan’s early career there. Llewyn Davis is played by Oscar Isaac, who most recently appeared in The Bourne Legacy. The story, though fictional, was inspired by the life of musician Dave Van Ronk, as chronicled in the book The Mayor of MacDougal Street.

Few directors have Martin Scorsese’s talent to tell entertaining stories about the seamier side of life. He has a unique ability to get us to understand and often be seduced by the people who live outside of the accepted norms. That’s an approach he’s used with great success in films like Taxi Driver, Goodfellas, Gangs […]

Before Monica Daniel was at the helm of frenzied red carpet cuts or horror documentaries, she spent her years in the trenches as an assistant editor. In this Track Matte Moment, Monica tells us about the time when she made a tiny mistake that cost a whole lot of time and sanity. We also talk [...]

Shane Reid edits commercials over at Whitehouse Post. You know like this one for Samsung, and that one for Subaru. Not to mention this one for Toyota. You may have seen this newly released epic ad for Duracell. Yup, he was behind that one. We got to know each other a few years back and I quickly discovered not only what a choice editor Shane is, but also how much he really loves every step of the process. It’s passion all the way through.

The news is good for content owners and not so good for encodingdecoding vendors, but gives everyone a feel for how the issue will play out.

Continuing what’s become something of a yearly tradition, films of considerable length have colonized American movie screens this Oscar season, from Hollywood releases like “The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug” (2 hours 41 minutes) and “The Wolf of Wall Street” to art house fare like “Blue Is the Warmest Color” (both 2 hours 59 minutes long).
