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

Django Unchained Wraps Heads To Editing Room

That Christmas Day ticket to Django Unchained you've already purchased in your mind was probably safe all along, but here's a vote of confidence: The movie is in the can. Per Indiewire, producer Stacey Sher writes that after "126 (or 130 depending on who is doing the counting)" days of filming, Quentin Tarantino is moving off the set and into the editing bay. It'll be QT's first time finishing a film without Sally Menke, who died unexpectedly in 2010.

Making Spidey Sense

One of the most difficult sound effects to create in Sony Pictures’ The Amazing Spider-Man, which opened July 3, was the aural announcement to the audience that the movie’s title character was entering a state of heightened perception known as "Spidey Sense," according to Shannon Mills and Addison Teague, who were supervising sound editors on the film and are our cover subjects this issue of CineMontage.
