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

Malene Stensgaard and Lars Von Trier

(Video in English Text in Spanish) What did Lars Von Trier and his editor Molly Marlene Stensgaard in films like The Dancer in the dark, Idioterne, or Antichrist? I found the answer in a blog of a teacher and student of the psychological and cognitive sciences: Tim J. Smith. Cito, translating, words that kept this scholar with the same Von Trier, which clarifies all these questions.

Twin Peaks (1990)

In the concluding shots of David Lynch's 1986 film Blue Velvet, a robin perches on a windowsill. The motif of the robin is repeated throughout the film and its visit marks the end of the surreal and nightmarish events experienced by those small town characters. The image of a bird set against a suburban landscape was revisited four years later by Lynch, this time in the opening shot of the title sequence for his celebrated cult series Twin Peaks, co-created by Mark Frost.
