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

How you say Film Editing 101: Great Cuts Every Filmmaker and Movie Lover Must Know in Turkish? We'll all find out when the book comes out in Turkish in 2012. This is the book's fourth translation and follows Italian, Korean, and Chinese. I have to say, though I've not gotten one translated copy in my...

King Vidor: The Editor's Director

No editor won an Academy Award for cutting a King Vidor film, yet bravura editing distinguishes all of his best films, from The Crowd (1928) to Our Daily Bread (1934), from Hallelujah! (1929) to Duel in the Sun (1946).

WEEK THREE AT THE EDIT CENTER

On Monday, each of us sits down to address the notes that we received from Rodney Evans, the director of The Happy Sad, on Friday. We are all tapping away with our headphones on, filling a common room, but simultaneously lost in our personal space bubbles. We do this for the better part of the day.

They say curiosity killed the cat, well I have a different perspective. I believe there are no stupid questions just stupid answers.What do I mean by this? Well If some genuinely needs help or just or just does not know the ins and outs, we must try our best to answer and explain the issues...

Best Film Editing Sequences of All-Time: Film editing could be called film construction and has been regarded by many as the invisible art behind some of the greatest motion picture sequences of all time. Film editing is a skilled art - the selection and integration of a sequence of shots taken from thousands of feet of film to establish a structure, tempo, mood, or style.

Editing A Short Film: Little Moments

THERE'S NOTHING LIKE EDITING THAT FINAL SHOT Taking a moment to watch a complete short film for the first time is such a gratifying experience. As you watch you think about all the creative choices you made and how everything came together… … And then you start catching tiny frames you can’t wait to tweak...

Blade and a J-Cut - two bits!

September 29, 2011, 11:15 AM

Final Cut Pro X doesn't do J-cuts. It doesn't do it at all, and whilst I am not an aggressive or violent person, I feel the need to sit on a naughty step for thinking what I'd like to do to this bit of software if it were something tangible.

WEEK TWO AT THE EDIT CENTER

September 28, 2011, 10:51 PM

http://www.filmmakermagazine.com/news/2011/09/week...

It is the first day of my second week at The Edit Center and we are no longer paired off with partners. Left alone with my computer, I cannot remember how to do anything. Alan Oxman (whose editing credits include Control Room, Happiness and Welcome to the Dollhouse) has joined us, as our teacher. We are to start working on a feature film currently going into post-production.
