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

Wes Anderson is a director known for his ability to bring interesting and quirky stories and characters to the screen. His latest film, Moonrise Kingdom, takes place on an island in New England sometime in the 1960s. Two pre-teens meet, fall in love and run away together. This brings the adults together in an effort to find them, and it sparks a fantastical adventure for the two lead characters, Suzy (Kara Hayward) and Sam (Jared Gilman).

It's too bad editors don't seem to catch enough of the spotlight. They certainly deserve it, as editing is an art form crucial to the filmmaking process. The nuance of a cut can create a vital subconscious emotional connection to the viewer, and in an action film, a great cut can make a whole theater cheer in unison.

Art of the Title: Smokin' Aces

High-contrast colors and a soulful beat instantly transport the viewer back to films of the ’60s and '70s to revisit the story they just experienced in this main-on-end title sequence. Hep assassins brandish guns and shoot pool, a cop takes a rending shot to the gut, and a femme fatale calmly looks down the sights of her iron: still images captured as if with a rostrum camera.
