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

Oscar Predictions: Opening the Film Editing Doors

The Academy is already submitting nominations for the 2013 Oscars, both by mail and, for the first time, online. As such, there were still a few categories I have yet to begin predicting, and it's time to start opening those doors.

Reality Editor Reveals - Most/Least Fake shows

December 18, 2012, 02:10 PM

http://www.buzzfeed.com/buzzfeedshift/career-confi...

I've worked as an editor of reality TV shows for about eight years — I've worked for 30 to 35 different reality series, and probably edited 300 to 400 individual episodes. Most people understand by this point that reality shows are entertainment, but there's a trust element there — when it's called reality, viewers want to believe. As editors we walk the line, though, and in some shows we kind of jump over it.

Fred Raskin says he stepped into "enormous shoes" when he took the job to edit Django Unchained for director Quentin Tarantino. This was the director's first film since the premature passing of his long-time collaborator, editor Sally Menke.

After 50 years and 23 films, the James Bond franchise is inarguably the most successful and steadfast in film history. Based on a canon of novels by journalist and WWII intelligence officer Ian Fleming, Bond was already a household name in the United Kingdom a decade before reaching the silver screen.
