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

Editorial 'Argo'-naut

William Goldenberg, A.C.E., enjoyed his stint on Ben Affleck’s Argo as a comfortable return to a budding collaborative relationship that he began with Affleck in 2007 on the filmmaker’s first movie, Gone Baby Gone (2007). His schedule didn’t permit him to work on Affleck’s second directorial effort, The Town (2010), but Goldenberg was ecstatic to reunite with him for Argo.

Sidney Wolinsky and David Chase Make Sure the 60s

Some six years ago, Tony Soprano dined with his wife Carmela and son A.J. for the last time. You remember how it went. As they chatted with each other and snacked on onion rings, the Journey song “Don’t Stop Believin’” blared from the jukebox, while daughter Meadow (soon to join them) endeavored to get the hang of parallel parking. All the while, unsavory types shuffled around the Sopranos’ table, but before any drama could unfold — there was a sudden, surprising cut to black.

'Homeland' (Editorial) Security

January 18, 2013, 01:11 PM

https://www.editorsguild.com/magazine.cfm?ArticleI...

The Emmy Award-winning political thriller from Fox 21, Homeland (Sunday nights on Showtime) has become so popular and engrossing that even President Barack Obama was hooked. In fact, during his November Asia trip, the President requested an episode on DVD in advance of its airing so he could keep up with the escalating tension between Claire Danes’ Carrie Mathison and Damian Lewis’ Nicholas Brody. She’s a CIA intelligence officer trying to uncover an al-Qaeda plot, and he’s a former Mari...

Editor's View: Further 'Up'

When I was 9, my parents took me to see 21 Up, the third in filmmaker Michael Apted’s Up documentary series. The amazingly ambitious premise of this series—exploring the Jesuit motto “Give me the child until he is 7 and I will give you the man”—traces the lives of 14 people from 1964 (when they are 7) to the present. Every seven years, Apted visits them, conducts new interviews and produces a new documentary.
