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

I wasn’t able to make it to the ACE Eddies this weekend, and the main reason I was bummed about that, if I’m honest, was a tribute to editing legend Michael Kahn. The tribute reel really hit the right spot and now it’s available to watch. Check it out below and relive the magic.

If you haven’t heard, the American Cinema Editors held their 2011 Eddie Awards last Saturday night, February 19. Along with the list of winners was the Lifetime Achievement Award handed out to Michael Kahn. Often you’ll heard him credited as Steven Speilberg’s longtime editor and while he has edited a lot of films for Spielberg he has also cut a lot of other legendary films as well. Just check out his IMDB profile.

I’m afraid you’ll find that I’m having trouble getting all that excited about this year’s race for Best Film Editing. How can I when the absolute best editing job of the year (from a true master, no less) was shunned altogether, while a cruel joke was played in the form of "Inception" editor Lee Smith getting the shaft, too.

Publisher Gremese Editore will bring out my second book, Film Editing: Great Cuts Every Filmmaker and Movie Lover Must Know in Italian in the next 6-12 months. It will beat the Mandarin Chinese edition by a few months. Editing pictures speaks a universal language and I am proud of all of us editors/editores for that.

After the initial "shock therapy", the rest of the evening was devoted to a milder approach, a "brainwashing", Manchurian Candidate style, of images and cuts that made sense and yet didn't have to spell out each emotion you were supposed to feel by spoonfeeding you each reaction shot!
