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

I talk about some of the creative workflows used to cut the horror documentary about the original Scream Trilogy, STILL SCREAMING: THE ULTIMATE SCARY MOVIE RETROSPECTIVE, released by Miramax/Lionsgate.

A rare opportunity to hear one of Australia's most prolific editors discuss her craft and latest feature film MENTAL.

This may seem like a bit of an odd question to ask - especially for an editor. After all, we're not in the dark ages where we consider lefties to be the acquaintance of the devil, and although modern world languages seem little biased, it surely doesn't matter? As far as story goes, it's like asking what colour a character's eyes are, right?

The documentary Side By Side (2012), now at theaters, on VOD and on iTunes is an interesting exploration of photo-chemical filmmaking versus digital moving image making at a moment in time where the two co-exist. That is not to say they won’t continue to co-exist, but it’s not to say they will either. It depends [...]

On Tuesday evening, August 14, the Editors Guild's 75th Anniversary Committee continued its Flashback Screening series at the DGA Theatre in Hollywood with a prime example of one of cinema’s most stalwart genres, the Western. One of only two 35mm prints with 5.1 surround sound of Clint Eastwood's The Outlaw Josey Wales (1976) was presented, followed by a conversation with two long-time veterans of the Eastwood post-production team, editor Joel Cox, A.C.E., and supervising sound editor Alan...

Perhaps because I work in this business, or just because I love movies so much, I’m always asked to define which ones I think are the classics. To me, that's simple: First, when it’s on, I have to watch it — no matter what. And second, I must bore my friends and family about it, quoting lines ad nauseam and reciting dialogue of which I'm particularly fond.

You learn by doing. While that maxim certainly applies to life in general, it is especially applicable to post-production professionals. Editors Guild members are continually teaching themselves to work with new equipment and software, not just to stay on the bleeding edge of their particular profession, but — with the ever-changing technologies in their line of work — even to remain viable (let alone hirable) in their jobs.

Although it has been only seven years since the first edition of A New History of Documentary Film, co-authored by the late Northwestern University film professor Jack C. Ellis and Betsy A. McLane, its newly published second edition firmly establishes itself as the most thorough overview of the evolution, achievement and future of the documentary film to date.

Here is an exceedingly practical tome, living every bit up to its name. Very well designed for a self-published book, it’s all in four-color printing with graphics, screen grabs and cartoons that provide very clear explication of the text. As a "distillation of concepts and best practices gained through more than 10 years of hands-on editing for many well-known companies," Kyra Coffie has written a guide around common editing pitfalls in Avid with step-by-step tasks. She also has worked...
