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

Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

I recently spoke with Kirk Baxter and Angus Wall, who as a team have cut Fincher's last three films, earning them a best editing Oscar for The Social Network as well as a nomination The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. I was curious about tackling a film that had already been done a couple of years before. Kirk Baxter replied, "We were really reacting to David's material above all, so the fact that there was another film about the same book didn’t really affect me.

The December 18, 2011 edition of The New York Times Magazine focused on the thought process of the editing duo Angus Wall and Kirk Baxter on The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo along with that of the film's director, David Fincher. The article focused on a scene which you can see as a slide show...

Editor Anne-Sophie Bion, The Artist

To tell the truth, this was the first time editing a whole movie by myself, admits Anne-Sophie Bion, formerly an assistant to the renowned French editor, Herve Schneid, (Amelie) who taught her, "if editing works without sound, it can only be better with it." When editing another film, Bion practiced cutting by shutting off the audio to see if the picture worked silently. When she was actually tapped to edit the modern day silent film, The Artist, working without dialog did not faze her.

Contender – Editor Joel Cox, J. Edgar

How does one collaborate with one of Hollywood's true legends for so many years on such a wide variety of projects? Just ask Joel Cox, who has edited nearly 40 films in total and has worked with Clint Eastwood since the late 1970s. After apprenticing and assisting in the editing room on many projects, Cox ascended to the role of film editor with Eastwood and has cut all of the star and director's most notable films of the past three decades, including their newest collaboration, J. Edgar.

Over the course of an edit session, you may spend hours or longer fretting over a number of edit choices. Tempo, music, colour tinting, which take to use…the list goes on and on. Let me throw in another decision that, whether you realize it or not, can have a huge impact on your project...

Contender – Editor Claire Simpson

Editing is all about focusing attention on what the filmmakers want an audience to see at any given time in a film. The editing on Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close takes its focus from the book and adapted screenplay that were written from point of view of the lead character Oskar (Thomas Horn). Both mediums externalized the boy's thoughts in voice over.

Sergei Eisenstein, comedian

Those who know Sergei Eisenstein solely through his reputation as a director of historical spectacles—or through his influential theories about film editing—might be surprised by how much broad humor runs through his first feature, Strike (1925). That was my reaction when I saw the movie this past Sunday at the Gene Siskel Film Center's Eisenstein series. It was a healthy reminder not to reduce an artist's legacy to his most familiar tropes—it also made me laugh a lot. The film screens aga...

This is a great video that really nails it in terms of body image just how fake most everything you see in print is these days. It was made be Jesse Rosten and looks like they put in quite a bit of work...
