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

When I was starting out in post there was a clearly defined road one took to becoming an editor. These were the last few years of cutting film on a 35mm flatbed and my experience was limited to the commercial world verses the TV or feature world, but there were basic similarities to the path one took.

We just got word of a fun event that we think will be fun for up and coming (and even the more seasoned) editors: the 90 to 5 Film Editing Challenge! The basic gist of it is to cut down a 90 minute public domain film to only 5 minutes. It's completely free and it...

Modern color correction and grading systems allow you to performance a lot of magic in post. All too often though, producers take the "fix it in post" mantra way too seriously. Since modern cameras offer excellent low light sensitivity, the basics of good lighting and proper art direction get short-changed. If the director, DP and...

When editor Pietro Scalia arrived in London two weeks before principal photography began on "Prometheus," he needed to discuss workflow plan with the camera department. He also needed to calibrate the monitors so the same high-definition 3D images that director Ridley Scott and cinematographer Dariusz Wolksi captured with the new Red Epic camera system would be re-created accurately in the dailies and the editing suite. But what he really wanted to do was to step aboard the bridge of the...
