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

For about a year and a half, I taught at a post production school in Burbank. It was my job to take the students who were nearing graduation, hand them a real project (usually one that came my way that had no budget), not really tell them much about it, and see how they dealt with it.

Stepping Back to Walk Forward

As John Lennon so elegantly put it, "Life is what happens while you're busy making other plans." The past year – the Great Unpaid, the move back to Boston, and other assorted successes and failures – has etched that immortal saying firmly in my grey matter, leading to much reflection and "life-ing" as I move my career and life forward, not into the Great Unpaid, but into the Great Unknown.

Trouble in Paradise – A study in life, comed

I had always heard about this movie and the Lubitsch touch and finally caught it in on Netflix. Trouble in Paradise PosterIf you haven't seen it, do it! If you have, re-view it. This 1932 movie shows what an ingenious director can do in the face of technical challenges. It was shot at the beginning of the "talkie" era when sound recording equipment famously "chained the camera" because it was too bulky and noisy to move.

Snow Guardians: Collaborative Post Production

April 1, 2011, 06:06 PM

http://www.dv.com/article/104562

New Jersey-based cinematographer, visual artist and editor Jim Geduldick (@FilmBot) previously worked as a professional snowboarder, so his work on the feature documentary Snow Guardians combines two of his strongest passions. Geduldkick, who served as editor, postproduction supervisor and one of many videographers on the film, is eager to see it come out because he's proud of the work everyone involved put into the project and because it covers its topic from an unusual perspective.
