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

‘Mad Max’ Sound Editor Mark Mangini

Of the many aspects of the multidisciplinary craft of filmmaking, it seems that the art of sound design is the least appreciated, and also the least understood. Luckily, Oscar-nominated supervising sound editor Mark Mangini got on the phone with Deadline to shine a little light, after receiving a fourth Oscar nod for his work in George Miller’s singular tentpole film, Mad Max: Fury Road. In a career stretching back to the ‘70s, Mangini considers Miller to be one of his greatest collaborators...
Editing The Big Short

Energetic in its pacing and rule-breaking in its style, “The Big Short” keeps viewers on their toes. Characters break the fourth wall and stock footage is mixed with more traditional scenes to tell the story of the housing collapse, a drama both tragic and darkly funny. To assemble these ideas into a cohesive whole, the director Adam McKay brought in the editor Hank Corwin, who had worked with Oliver Stone and Terrence Malick.
