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

The Best Effect is One the Viewer Doesn’t See

I’m a big fan of NFL films. The stories they create are simply visual candy. I wanted to create a film effect for the story on Thunder in the spirit of NFL films. I wanted to create my own look and feel as well. Every clip in this story is affected. It’s not flying boxes. It’s not crazy wipes. It’s not picture in picture. It’s something WAY more subtle. I’m creating an entire feel for the story. What I’m doing is never distracting to the viewer which is what editing is all about.

Editing 'The Green Hornet'

January 15, 2011, 11:14 AM

CULVER CITY, CA — Veteran editor Michael Tronick and his editing team have taken on the task of helping director Michel Gondry bring the Green Hornet and his trusty sidekick Cato to the big screen. While there is plenty of action to go around, the film stars Seth Rogen, better known for his comedic work (Knocked Up, Superbad, The 40-year-old Virgin) than his crime fighting abilities. In addition to starring in Green Hornet, Rogen also gets writing and producing credit, so his funny hand was.
