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

Today will be a short article. An intern for the show asked me today where they should be checking on the internet for jobs. I figured I would respond here. If you MUST scour the internet to help and try to find work, you should be checking these sites daily:

Garret Smith has posted a number of tutorials exploring different methods of text animation in Adobe After Effects. Before we go any further, however, check out Ian Albinson's SXSW presentation, A Brief History of Title Design, which is a great compendium of visually striking titles from over the years...

People think that since we work in dark rooms all day that we are passive-aggressive prickly pears. That we would much rather curse the darkness than light a candle.

It all started with the ProRes Maker rap video, that went on to have huge coverage amongst FCP blogs and still appears in Twitter streams. Our favourite tongue-in cheek video though has been the short but funny Avid v FCP commercial. We have a new challenger to the crown of humorous editing video on FCP.co Step up Wedontgiveafrak with Final Cut Pro: A Day in the Life.

I'm going to teach you how to make a really good film. So said Thomas Ethan Harris to open his April 20 seminar entitled In the Cut: Employing the Art of Editing––part of his Visual Communication seminar series at the American Cinematheque's Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood. Co-founder and former programming director of the Los Angeles Film Festival, Harris designed the series as an interactive cinematic forum for aspiring filmmakers.

Why is it that Producers treat Post Production as an afterthought? As in, I need to spend all my money on Production so it looks great, but the editing we can do on the cheap. The editor is the LAST person to touch your film.
