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

Lav mics (or lavalier or lapel, take your pick) are a very popular tool in filmmaking. Their small form factor enables you to get into discreet positions, mostly used for positioning on your talent.

For actors and filmmakers nominated for an Academy Award®, the Oscars® ceremony brings moments of high tension as the presenters introduce their category, fumble with the envelope, and finally announce a winner. But for the sound crew that works the show at the Dolby Theatre—as Dolby’s Steve Venezia has for 12 years—the whole night is filled with tension, as he listens for glitchy microphones, too-long speeches, unpredictable hosts, and even the occasional profanity during one of the mos...

American Cinema Editors’ Eddie Awards — which will be handed out Feb. 7 at the Beverly Hilton—has proved to be a quite reliable Oscar bellwether. In fact, in nine of the past 10 years, the winner of the best edited dramatic feature Eddie has gone on to win the Oscar in editing. Additionally, in six of the past 10 years the winner in the ACE category for best edited dramatic or comedy/musical feature went on to win the Oscar for best picture.

Well this is disheartening news. Scott Waugh‘s Need for Speed, which looked like an entertaining, gritty, hardcore action film with an emphasis on practical stunts, is now getting a last-minute 3D post-conversion. For those unfamiliar with the film, it chronicles a cross-country race against time as a blue-collar mechanic (Aaron Paul) who was framed for manslaughter by a wealthy, arrogant ex-NASCAR driver (Dominic Cooper) sets out for revenge in a high-stakes underground racing tournament.
