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

It all started with the ProRes Maker rap video, that went on to have huge coverage amongst FCP blogs and still appears in Twitter streams. Our favourite tongue-in cheek video though has been the short but funny Avid v FCP commercial. We have a new challenger to the crown of humorous editing video on FCP.co Step up Wedontgiveafrak with Final Cut Pro: A Day in the Life.

I'm going to teach you how to make a really good film. So said Thomas Ethan Harris to open his April 20 seminar entitled In the Cut: Employing the Art of Editing––part of his Visual Communication seminar series at the American Cinematheque's Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood. Co-founder and former programming director of the Los Angeles Film Festival, Harris designed the series as an interactive cinematic forum for aspiring filmmakers.

Why is it that Producers treat Post Production as an afterthought? As in, I need to spend all my money on Production so it looks great, but the editing we can do on the cheap. The editor is the LAST person to touch your film.

Nobody tells this to people who are beginners, I wish someone told me. All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But there is this gap. For the first couple years you make stuff, it's just not that good. It's trying to be good, it has potential, but it's not. But your taste, the thing that got you into the game, is still killer. And your taste is why your work disappoints you.

As I've mentioned randomly before, I regularly practice yoga and have semi-frequently to frequently practiced for 4 years. I've seen a lot of benefits, both mental and physical, come from this regular practice. For example, throughout my senior year of college, I had horrible stress-related jaw pain from grinding my teeth at night. The pain caused awful constant pain in my neck, headaches, and referred pain in my legs. It was bad.
