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

Zero Dark Thirty

February 22, 2013, 04:56 PM

https://www.editorsguild.com/FromTheGuild.cfm?From...

Kathryn Bigelow's fact-based 'Zero Dark Thirty' puts the audience right there in the decade-long hunt to get Osama bin Laden — without the usual Hollywood conventions, thanks in part to its two editors, Dylan Tichenor (There Will Be Blood)', A.C.E., and William Goldenberg ('Argo'), A.C.E., and Oscar-winning sound designer/re-recording mixer Paul Ottosson ('The Hurt Locker'). Tense and often disturbing, the political thriller captures a myriad of events with clarity and precision.

Can the PNYA Build an Empire that Rivals L.A.?

Beth Marchant has a good article over at StudioDaily on the development of the New York State 30-percent (35-perecent upstate) tax credit that’s now in place for productions doing their post work in New York. This tax credit is a unique add-on compared to California and other states. But is it working? Marchant says yes, pointing out how new facilities, such as Mr. X Inc. decided to open offices here “weeks after the higher post credit went into effect.”

On Sunday, Tim Squyres ’81 will walk down the world’s hottest strip of red fabric, maybe bumping into Anne Hathaway or Bradley Cooper as he makes his way into Dolby Theatre for the 85th Academy Awards. One of the five nominees for Best Film Editing, Squyres shaped Life of Pi into the film that has captured hearts, minds and half a billion dollars in box office worldwide, but he isn’t losing any sleep over the attention. Before Sunday’s ceremony and his March 10 visit to present Life of P...

The 63d Annual A.C.E. Eddie Awards

February 21, 2013, 03:44 PM

http://filmmakersdiary.blogspot.ca/2013/02/the-63d...

The annual A.C.E. Eddie Awards dinner reminds me of the Passover Seder. Each year, when Jewish families celebrate the exodus of Hebrew slaves from Egypt, the youngest child asks, “Why is this night different from all other nights?” (Ritual requires that four answers be given; these responses, each including the words “on this night,” have mysteriously become known as “the four questions.”)
