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

“There’s no work!”     “People have lost all hope and faith in the business”   “Every video producer is now stressed wondering where their next meal ticket is coming and using all their time marketing with no success.” I’m getting tired of these generalities being thrown out there about the sorry state of our […]

Yes, You DO Need ALL the Footage!

Got a great email this week from a young editor who asked a very honest question.  “Does the editor have to get ALL the raw material from the shooter or should they expect the footage to be trimmed before receiving it?” In other words, should the shooter trim out all head / tails / extra […]

Playing The Diplomat - Handling Relationships

Audio practitioners in the music industry can appreciate when I say that half the battle in the production of good records and music is handling the relationship you have with the artist, and the relationship they have within their own ranks.

The story for this post is part 1 of a documentary I edited back in 2008.  In this post I’ll share how I used music and the use of tight shots.   Scott’s Story (the documentary) starts at [:11] on my YouTube channel.  The editing in the beginning is pretty standard.  I’m not trying to be […]
