To The Aotg.com Community,

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
Aotg.com Founder

Budget Cutting "Crazy" Workflow Saves Si

Crazy Heart, a recently completed low-budget indie feature, marks the feature film directing debut of actor and writer Scott Cooper. It also features a rarely tried, cost-efficient post-production workflow that provided some challenges for editor John Axelrad and first assistant editor Tom Cross. Shot in and around Santa Fe, New Mexico, Crazy Heart stars Jeff Bridges, Maggie Gyllenhall, Colin Farrell and Robert Duvall. The Tender Mercies-like plot (enhanced by the presence of that 1981...

Remote. Control. Sonoma.

Working remotely has become commonplace in big, visual effects-laden feature films, with post-production work being done at effects and sound houses spread all over the world. But with the economy in its current state, not to mention the time and money consumed in traveling to and from a workplace on a daily basis, telecommuting on smaller projects, like television, is looking more and more attractive to post-production professionals.

If you ask someone about trends these days, it’s nearly impossible not to bring up the economy, since that is the root of most trends these days. "The industry is very black and white right now," says Soho Editors CEO David Gater. "You are either winning or you are out... there is no in between. This can be seen all across the industry; there is no room for mediocrity. If you are not at the top of your game there is no place for you. Shows are being cancelled, facilities are closing their...

Twitter About Editing Experiment

It was just over a year ago when I posted a post that began the "Twitter about editing" experiment. I had signed up for Twitter around a year before that but really never used the service since I didn’t have a good group to follow nor did I really know what to talk about. That gave me the idea for the "Twitter about editing" experiment.

Time Stands Still for 'Watchmen' Editor

When Editor William Hoy, ACE, re-teamed with Director Zack Snyder for Watchmen, the two knew they were embarking on a project with challenges tougher even than those they faced on their previous outing, the epic 300. While that graphic-novel-based feature melded CGI, post-heavy speed changes and virtual camera moves, Watchmen would also have its share of digital set extensions, postproduction "camera effects" and CGI work. And it would have a very bizarre group of superheroes whose behavior...
