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

POST-PRODUCTION PIONEERS

Television kept post-production people employed during the post-World War II years in New York. Feature film was a West Coast commodity, but the Madison Avenue advertising firms, such as J. Walter Thompson, Benton and Bowles and Hill and Knowlton, among others, were a major part of the "go-go" years in Manhattan. Editors in the East Coast Motion Picture Film Editors Guild, Local 771, which was founded in 1943, were the backbone of the advertising and television industry, working under heavy...

Midway through George Cukor's Rich and Famous (1981), there is a scene that, all by itself, encapsulates the witty banter that was the director’s signature. The heroine of the film, a celebrated writer played by Jacqueline Bisset, is in her room at the Algonquin Hotel, ostensibly to be interviewed by a young Rolling Stone journalist (Hart Bochner). Bisset orders a drink from room service, but in the next few minutes, every one but room service shows up, including her best friend...

Fun. Catherine Apple keeps saying that word while discussing Hotel Transylvania, the animated feature from Sony Pictures Animation and Columbia Pictures, which she edited. Opening September 28, in plenty of time for Halloween, the 3D film stars Adam Sandler, who voices Dracula and leads a cast that includes Andy Samberg, Kevin James, David Spade and Fran Drescher, among others. Sandler is also one of the producers.

There's a revolution going on at JJ Abrams’ Bad Robot Productions and it has nothing to do with aliens, plane crashes or spies. It's a change in the way music is being integrated into post-production. Music editors Tom Trafalski and Brian Bulman are back for a second season at Bad Robot ready to begin work, respectively, on the upcoming season of Person of Interest (2011-present) and a new series coincidentally entitled Revolution. Abrams’ production company is known for the groundbreaking.....

As part of their ongoing effort to gain recognition and acknowledgement for picture editors, the Motion Picture Editors Guild and the American Cinema Editors (ACE) launched a Petition for the Recognition of Editors in late June. The Committee for Creative Recognition, comprised of members from the Boards of Directors of both organizations, hopes to encourage film festivals and other organizations (both domestic and international) that present awards for achievement to honor the vital...
