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

Every day on TV and in the movies, we see conventions of editing that build upon the hard work and genius of those who have come before. Actually breaking editing down into its constituent parts and figuring out how they work, however, can be very difficult.

A old friend of mine once said Not because you could, just because you can. It's impossible to explain how funny that comment was but it's strangely perfect for this post. You don't always have to make a trailer for a short film. But isn't it fun to edit one together anyways?

For about a year and a half, I taught at a post production school in Burbank. It was my job to take the students who were nearing graduation, hand them a real project (usually one that came my way that had no budget), not really tell them much about it, and see how they dealt with it.

As John Lennon so elegantly put it, "Life is what happens while you're busy making other plans." The past year – the Great Unpaid, the move back to Boston, and other assorted successes and failures – has etched that immortal saying firmly in my grey matter, leading to much reflection and "life-ing" as I move my career and life forward, not into the Great Unpaid, but into the Great Unknown.

I had always heard about this movie and the Lubitsch touch and finally caught it in on Netflix. Trouble in Paradise PosterIf you haven't seen it, do it! If you have, re-view it. This 1932 movie shows what an ingenious director can do in the face of technical challenges. It was shot at the beginning of the "talkie" era when sound recording equipment famously "chained the camera" because it was too bulky and noisy to move.
