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

Full circle- The flipcam effect and when to stop

It wasn't until the concept of dramatic editing was stumbled across that cinema as we know it was born, and the world fell in love with the silver screen. It was actually Edwin S Porter who first grabbed audiences and dragged them into an more exciting world of tension and emotion with 'Life of an American Fireman (1902/03)'. It is in this film that the first example of cross-cutting between 2 separate lines of action can be seen.

Last month, Post teamed up with the Visual Effects Society to host a panel at the Createasphere conference in New York City. I served as moderator of the "Hot VFX NYC" session, which evolved into a discussion of the business of visual effects in the competitive New York market. The slate of panelists had no shortage of commentary over the hour-and-a-half session, which still managed to highlight much of their impressive work. Panelists included: Dan Schrecker, VFX supervisor at Look Effects...
Meeting Mirrione

Film festivals are a great way for people in the filmmaking community to get out there and expand their circle. Great movies and world premieres aside, VIFF hosted a series of workshops at its Film+TV Forum, where I was fortunate to witness Academy award-winning Stephen Mirrione deliver a powerful, engaging presentation on the importance and impact of the editor in the filmmaking process. I have been a big fan of Mirrione's work for many years, so this was a special occasion for me.
