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

Editor Dylan Tichenor grew up watching movies with his father, a wannabe filmmaker with his own 16mm camera. His first lesson in editing took place when, as a child, he held a strip of film from an 8mm reel of The Magnificent Ambersons to the light and realized how the scene was composed of different shots. His first professional break was as a P.A. on John Sayles’ City of Hope. Since then, he’s edited Boogie Nights, Magnolia, Unbreakable, and The Royal Tenenbaums. He just finished Brokeback...

Today a co-worker and I were discussing the need for a word to describe a video that is simultaneously letterboxed and pillarboxed. I dislike that particular lapse in effort so much that the word "Litterboxed" seemed to be the best fit. So there. Run wild with it, internets.

Far from regarding his editor as a mere technician, Scalia says, Scott encourages input on major narrative and expressive strategy. "It is only directors who are insecure who don’t want to hear suggestions," Scalia says. "A master such as Ridley Scott has no such anxiety."

Listen up. Good post is good post. Bad post is bad post. I mention this as a reminder to everyone saying that the only way to make a 3D movie is in the camera, that the "problem" with some 3D movies is that the 3D was added in post. It shouldn't take a single second for you to remember that post, in itself, is not the problem. Quite the contrary. We can all name a dozen examples off the top of our heads where post was the only possible solution...

One of the elements that made Star Wars: A New Hope such a success was its editing. Three people shared the credit for the film: Paul Hirsch, Marcia Lucas and Richard Chew. In 1978, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences awarded them an Oscar for their work. In his career Paul Hirsch has worked 11 times with legendary director Brian DePalma. He also edited, among others, Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, Footloose, Mission: Impossible, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Carrie and Ray, for...
