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

The craft of editing video/film/whatever you want to call it, is a skill. The operation of a non-linear editing system is one thing but what about the craft? How do you learn what makes a good edit and what doesn't? I don't know if I have the answers but I've cut many projects, with about 65-70 percent destined for broadcast.

It was Harry Tatelman's job to convert Universal's films into television fare by taking out the foul language, and some of the violence and nudity. When he was given the task of editing Scarface's 160 F words along with its other blue content few thought it could be done. But in the end it may be the most creative censorship ever to hit the TV airwaves.

At 28, Anne-Sophie Bion may be the greenest Oscar nominee for film editing. She is nominated, along with the writer-director Michel Hazanavicius, for her work on The Artist, the first feature she worked on as a full-fledged editor (not an assistant). Mr. Hazanavicius heard about Ms. Bion through a friend, and — without meeting — she began working on the film in Paris while he was still shooting in Los Angeles.
