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

We could all do with a little more planning in our lives, right? Looking at something from multiple angles and picking the best path to where we want to be. Post pros specializing in previsualization know better than most how much this process can help in the bigger scheme of things.

The monthly excerpt from John Buck's book, 'Timeline'. Available at iBooks and Amazon: Nick Schlott was porting code to enable Adobe Premiere to run with Microsoft's Video for Windows (VFW) Premiere for Windows was to be based upon VFW and of course that wasn't released yet, so we were under Microsoft NDA's and we would travel up there periodically to see what they were up to.
