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 the film and video editor is one which combines both technical proficiency and the eye and ear of an artist. The explosion of inexpensive digital editing tools, along with a growing demand for media for a variety of new and emerging

Your first Avid Assistant Editor gig you get might have you feeling a little overwhelmed. New job, unfamiliar faces and the daunting realization that you don't know what is expected of you.

he accomplishments of an editor can be both mysterious and underappreciated, and nowhere is this more evident than among the editors at Pixar Studios. I discovered their special role in the animation process when I visited Ken Schretzmann at Pixar shortly after he won an Eddie for Best Edited Feature Film in Animation for Toy

Editor Shane Ross brilliantly weaves together a blacksmith documentary he edited as an analogy for Final Cut Pro X. A very worthwhile listen for any editor (or non-editor) interested in FCPX.

I have a great appreciation for creative dramatization such as sequences in a film like Jon Foy's Resurrect Dead: The Mystery of the Toynbee Tiles (2011), which uses beautiful, mysterious and moody graphic illustrations to move the story forward and create suspense. Or anything by filmmaker Alan Berliner, who is famous for incorporating home movies...
