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

It's hard to convey the sheer brilliance of the seminar a lucky few of us had the chance to attend last night. I've seen glimpses of this type of information, namely in two places, Peter D. Marshall's directing course and in an introductory speech by Professor Daniel Jacobo from Chaffey College on the Tao of Super 8.

This entry is about sequencing. You already know about sequencing? Bare with me. You might learn something even if you understand sequencing already.

The skeleton of every film is a screenplay, but few can boast as strong a bone structure as the one provided by screenwriter Aaron Sorkin for The Social Network, the fast-paced, fast-talking story of fast times behind the scenes of Facebook. Moving self-assuredly among a multiplicity of different settings — they include the Harvard campus where Mark Zuckerberg's ideas were born, the Henley Royal Regatta rowing event where Zuckerberg's classmates lose a race by a whisker, and the noisy...

American Cinema Editors (ACE) and Manhattan Edit Workshop had the inspired idea to create a series called Short Cuts in order to "get that EditFest feeling all year long." The intention in both cases was the same: To create a deeper understanding of the editor’s invisible art by having master film editors discuss and screen their work for film students, editors and enthusiasts. But instead of having panels of editors for an entire weekend, Short Cuts would focus on one esteemed editor and take...

Editing the series – let’s say three weeks? Nah, two week – Ok, Bob, one and a half weeks. That should be, like, 3 days to review all the footage, 2 days to do a rough assembly of the episodes, and maybe another 3 days to polish. No worries.
