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

Fans of the Bourne film series flocked to theaters this summer when the release of The Bourne Legacy hit the screen. What viewers might not have realized when watching the action-packed film was the intense editing process that went into making it such a show-stopper. Bryant Frazer at Studio Daily and Oliver Peters at Digital Video each had the opportunity to interview The Bourne Legacy's editor John Gilroy, and through their respective articles, share what it was like to work with his...

The Art of Subtitling

October 4, 2012, 03:39 PM

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB100008723963904445...

The director Jean-Luc Godard once jested that his film "Notre Musique" "should be subtitled into the American English of a Pakistani cab driver." With the rise of crowd-sourced subtitling platforms such as Amara, which uses volunteers to collaborate on translations of online videos into numerous languages, such hyperspecific captioning no longer sounds like a joke. Amara volunteers now mainly provide subtitles for videos of political speeches and events, but Netflix is in the early stages...

With this special we go into the garage of director Robert Rodriguez who basically made 'Once Upon a Time in Mexico' all by himself. He directed, produced, wrote, shot, chopped, and scored (as he puts it) the movie and he did a lot of the post-production in the garage we see.

(In Spanish) A month ago mentioned on this blog the last two jobs by Monika Willi (Amour and Whore's Glory), the Austrian film editor (of who I yearn to see her latest work with Michael Haneke: Amour—which, incidentally, has become one of the favorite movies of Gaspar Noe. In that post I also put a link to an interview with the film editor which I couldn't uderstand. However, a friend did the translation!
