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

In 1926, the Los Angeles Times informed readers that “one of the most important positions in the motion-picture industry is held almost entirely by women” whose job it was to assemble “thousands of feet of film so that it tells an interesting story in the most straightforward manner” (B7). Assembling reels and cutting negatives was tedious work that often fell to young working-class women. However, out of the ranks of these film joiners and negative cutters emerged a handful of women who...

The Sennheiser AVX MKE-2 Pro System is a new digital wireless sound system, that takes over from the trusty EW100-G3 wireless sound package which is used by many producers, sound engineers and in television across the globe. The transmitter and receiver packs have been re-designed, removing the cable aerial and making the receiver much smaller; more practical for on camera use or smaller setups (using a DSLR for example).

Cinesite was involved in an exciting boat chase sequence following Solo and Kuryakin’s quick escape from the Aerospace building. Everything above the waterline was recreated digitally in this sequence, including all of the dockside buildings and environment, which was replaced with a CG Italian version; only the foreground water and boat were kept from the original footage.

By default, your clips are probably laid out in the smallest thumbnail view, which for me, is not how I like to work. I prefer working in list view, but if you prefer working in thumbnail view, but don’t like the size of the thumbnails, you can change them, and switch to List view, simply by right clicking in the bin window, and selecting either the larger thumbnail, or List view.
