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

Thelma Schoonmaker On Peeping Tom

March 7, 2012, 11:44 AM

Thelma Schoonmaker has edited all of Martin Scorsese's feature films since Raging Bull, and has thus far picked up three Oscars for her trouble. She's one of the great pioneers for women in Hollywood. She was also married to one of the UK's greatest directors, Michael Powell, so when she talks about Peeping Tom -- the film which, 50 years ago, ruined his magnificent career -- you listen. Empire was lucky enough to sit down for a long chat with the editor about the film, in-jokes and all.

(In Spanish) The video starts with black and fades in a micro-parallel structure that holds three to three. It has three locations (home demolished, neighborhood street and forest) followed by the three rappers while saying their names. These two trios of plans, a general level, while they say Dope DOD turns out to be the center and the junction, and because of what we shall see.

What do VFX editors do? Really. Pt. 2

Visual effects are just another way of creating film for me to cut. We're used to having the film shot on the set, processed and sent to the editing room and that's it. In the visual effects world, that's just the beginning of making the shot. Instead of the shot being made in one day...

A couple of Saturdays ago, I had a great call with a very helpful Hollywood editor who I will be working with to help people reach their Hollywood goals. I really love talking to guys like that who are into helping others.
