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

With the mid-September release of Nicolas Winding Refn’s Drive starring Ryan Gosling, Mat Newman’s sharp editing has been praised for contributing to audience involvement in the action and character dynamics.

The Editing of Courageous Part One

Last October, I had the rare opportunity to edit a feature film called Courageous, which is in theaters now. Courageous was the number one new movie the weekend it opened (September 30th) and the number four movie over all and it’s stayed in the top six for the last three weeks, with its per-theater box office at the number one spot for two weeks, and still at number 2.

Lupanar [Making-of videoclips de Marea]

WELCOME TO THE DRYER was the first video from the new album Tidal.I started that way for several reasons: very quickly placed the viewer in a brothel, and thereafter, set the tone that had interested me during this video: funny and fun. For me, it has been the host to mount this video because, with large amount of material, I have experienced and assembly techniques use many of the documentary genre.

I've Never Met a Video That Couldn't Be

I have never met a video that wouldn't benefit from some editing. The whole purpose of video is to compress time and distill a message to its essence. It is important that you refine a project by continuing to strip away its unneeded parts. Never have I heard an audience complain that a video was too short. There is a reason to edit and it becomes increasingly clear when you actually watch people as they watch your project.
