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

Directed by Martin Scorsese in 1991, Cape Fear is a remake of J. Lee Thompson's '62 film adaptation of The Executioners, a novel by John D. Macdonald. Scorsese’s film replaces Robert Mitchum’s brand of vengeful sociopathy with that of Robert DeNiro in the magnetic role of Max Cady, an ex-con out for revenge against district attorney Sam Bowden (and his family, by proxy) for burying evidence in order to convict him of aggravated rape 14 years prior.

"A Conversation with Academy Award-winning Editor Paul Hirsch, A.C.E." was how the Keynote Presentation of the Digital Video Expo 2012 was announced. What the Oscar-winning editor really delivered was a fascinating introductory master class in film editing for those who attended this first session of the Expo's Backstage LA Post-Production Conference on September 19, the first day of a three-day event mounted at the Pasadena Convention Center.

Late September saw the release of the tight and gripping End of Watch from Open Road Films. Written and directed by David Ayer, who also wrote Training Day (2001), it follows the lives of two cops — played by Jake Gyllenhaal and Michael Pen-a — assigned to gang-ridden South Los Angeles. Much of the riveting attention the film draws from the audience can be attributed to the editing of Dody Dorn, A.C.E.

Jeffrey will humbly state that it is the actors timing that inspire the cuts but there is more to his skilled cuts than comedic timing there is a sense of years of experience and wisdom that younger editors should take note of. In this episode Jeffrey and I discuss comedy timing and working with comedic actors.

Fans of the Bourne film series flocked to theaters this summer when the release of The Bourne Legacy hit the screen. What viewers might not have realized when watching the action-packed film was the intense editing process that went into making it such a show-stopper. Bryant Frazer at Studio Daily and Oliver Peters at Digital Video each had the opportunity to interview The Bourne Legacy's editor John Gilroy, and through their respective articles, share what it was like to work with his...

The director Jean-Luc Godard once jested that his film "Notre Musique" "should be subtitled into the American English of a Pakistani cab driver." With the rise of crowd-sourced subtitling platforms such as Amara, which uses volunteers to collaborate on translations of online videos into numerous languages, such hyperspecific captioning no longer sounds like a joke. Amara volunteers now mainly provide subtitles for videos of political speeches and events, but Netflix is in the early stages...
