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

Whenever editors begin a film, they enter into completely new territory and must adjust to and understand the director's way of working and thinking. Editor Jay Rabinowitz, A.C.E., has traveled among a particularly diverse group of directors and has been able to immerse himself in their worlds — while showing the courage and ingenuity to surprise them, which is what really sets an editor apart. All of this was in evidence when we discussed and screened some of Rabinowitz's work in December...

There's a joyous moment in director Martin Scorsese's Hugo, opening November 23 from Paramount Pictures, when Sir Ben Kingsley–– portraying the pioneering French filmmaker Georges Melies (1902's A Trip to the Moon)—performs a magical feat onstage to thunderous applause. It's but a brief glimpse into a forgotten past.

Two types of choice make up the storytelling world of today: The first is the creator's choice: the choices that we as content creators make to build the world of the story we're telling. The second is the audience's choice: limitless, and changeable at the click of a mouse or swipe of a finger. The...
