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

Clint Eastwood's 'J. Edgar'

When tackling this type of storytelling, as well as a very dialogue-driven film like this one, a director needs to put his trust in his editor. Eastwood had that peace of mind thanks to long-time collaborators Joel Cox and Gary Roach. Cox first started working with Eastwood back in 1975 and then joined him full time in 1984; Roach started with Cox on Absolute Power in 1997.

ALL THINGS SHINING: How did you work on Malick's films? Saar Klein: I was riding a movie called Endurance, which Terry produced. I had never seen - nor speak, because he was filming The Thin Red Line in Australia when I arrived. I sent a letter with thoughts and ideas on the first cut I had seen that movie. His wife replied by saying that Terry would love to re-mount the film. We met a few months later, when he returned from The Thin Red Line.

With their tight production schedule, editor Hughes Winborne could not believe that Dreamworks would send the film crew for The Help down to Mississippi with a 160-page script to shoot. Yet despite only filming one or two takes of each set-up, Winborne admits that there was always enough footage to put the edit together, "They shot the script they wrote and got it all."
