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's hard to convey the sheer brilliance of the seminar a lucky few of us had the chance to attend last night. I've seen glimpses of this type of information, namely in two places, Peter D. Marshall’s directing course and in an introductory speech by Professor Daniel Jacobo from Chaffey College on the Tao of Super 8.

From the earliest days of making movies there has been misunderstanding and confusion about what exactly an editor does in the creation of a movie, television program or today, the multitude of other types of "dynamic media" that are emerging both scripted and unscripted. This is understandable because along with the cinematographer, the art...

No, that isn't some odd Frankenstein-vampire thing. It is a term that is often used by documentary editors to explain how we edit certain interview clips. Much like Frankenstein's Monster was made from body parts of different people, a "Frankenbyte" is a sound byte made up of statements from several sentences from an interview subject.

A while back, I reviewed 127 Hours and how much I loved the editing. As a professional editor it made me think about how to be better and more creative when I’m at work. It doesn’t get much more inspiring than that.

The editing structure is key to the success of the ABC comedy series Modern Family. Just as editing takes disparate elements and, by juxtaposing them, creates a perspective, the plot construction of Modern Family asks its viewers to accept the fact that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

Editor Andy Weisblum, ACE, who recently completed work on Darren Aronofsky's critically-lauded Black Swan, spent a significant amount time on the set of the ballet-themed thriller, cutting sections of the film on his laptop. Weisblum spent years earlier in his career as a visual effects editor—he put his experience to use on this psychological thriller told in great part through the eyes of a very disturbed ballerina (Natalie Portman). The film involves hundreds of visual effects shots, many.....
