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

Do changes in technology demand a different approach in the craft of writing? Or do the best stories still come in classic form? Here's my research as a doubtful enthousiast, very much interested in the storytelling potentials of new platforms and the masterpieces of the future it will eventually lead to.

Riding high off of the Oscars, Timmie and Ryan discuss one of their favorite topics, Women in Cinema volume 2 style. Last time we talked about the characters. Today we’re talking creators, writers, directors, and producers. Are there enough women in these jobs? Don’t just take Joss Whedon’s word for it, listen to Ep. 59 to find out!

Neuroscience is being used in Hollywood to measure and predict audience reactions. Could your brain direct an Oscar winner?

Taking into account concepts such as time and speed –both in real music video performances and in video edits–, the author creates a sort of kitschish homage to great, well-known bands that left a mark on the author's life. The (in)visible editing inside each shot adds fuel to these amateur, witty videos.

You asked for it, and now it’s finally here: Timmie and Ryan are joined in this crossover podcast by Gordon Burkell of The Cutting Room. What follows is an award worthy conversation about The Oscars, what should/shouldn’t be nominated, secrets of the post-production categories, cut-throat Oscar Parties, and our personal top picks of 2014.

NJAM is back in business! Timmie and Ryan continue their journey through Hollywood History before landing in the present. Are the studios dying? Is it already too late?? What is the best part of a Snickers bar??? All will be answered…

I’ve always been a fan of the long take. Honest and uncompromising, the long take destroys the artifice of cinema.

BEVERLY HILLS - Amidst the light-hearted hysterics and even occasional ribaldry on display at the packed 65th American Cinema Editors (ACE) Awards Dinner on January 30 (actor Jeff Garlin’s presenting shtick in a bathrobe and his underwear had to be seen to be believed), the people and the projects honored illustrated, among other things, how the role of the craft of editing has evolved and risen to a new and even more important level of importance on the modern media landscape.
