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

These are thanks to an anonymous editor who watched all the 197 episodes Mystery Science Theater 3000 (MST3K), a comedy series from Minnesota's twin cities that ran from 1988-1999 mostly on Comedy Central and is now available on DVD. The editor's comments are on the first line in purple as he (I'm assuming) watches the...

V gives the movie the other. Carmageddon was just before. I thought to myself: I hope worth having driven for three hours to see this. Of course, I think it was great. Carmageddon? A shit. It deserves certainly worth going to see it, pas it right! Always worth going to see a trfico movies is atrocious though. For me, a bit like the worship on Sundays. Sorry if I'm not going to the movies regularly, I'm not paying my tribute to the gods of cinema, as is how I see it. Jams and...(Spanish)

It's becoming more difficult these days to find people who have had the same job their whole lives since leaving formal education, but tv/ film freelancers go some way beyond that. Has anyone tried recently to fill in a "previous work" section on an application form (e.g. voluntary work)?

This is a slight deviation from the ongoing series of Feature Scene Breakdowns that I have neglected for the last six month or so. Being apart of the advertising industry now, I am finding myself much more attentive to the ad work that seems to assault me from every screen I own these days and I thought...

In this intermediate Premiere Pro CS5.5 tutorial, I show you how to take elements from After Effects and use them to create an interesting slot machine animation using Premiere Pro's native filters, motion parameters and Title Tool. Download the Slot Machine Toolkit below if you want to follow along. I discuss a website where to download a project management script for free as well as a change in the way the tutorials will be done. Watch, learn, subscribe and enjoy!

Another great film edited by the talented Josh Bodnar. This film is different as you get to interact with the film through the social network, this is part one of eight. Great edit Josh! Here is the breakdown sent to me by Josh: Directed by D.J. Caruso ( Disturbia, I am Number Four, Eagle Eye) alongside Oscar-winning cinematographer Mauro...

Take this Heineken commercial for example At [:13] you see match action of the guy in pink juggling the beer in glasses. At [:18] is a match action shot of a guy throwing beer bottles from the stage...
