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

TEJ BABRA: SELF-TAUGHT EDITOR VS EDUCATED EDITOR

September 30, 2010, 03:29 PM

http://www.elskid.com/blog/tej-babra-self-taught-e...

Tej Babra, a regular and entertaining Twitter poster as well as being a very experienced editor recently posted a blog assessing the pluses and minuses of the self-taught editor vs the apprentice editor. Tej’s point is that experience is vital to editing, and he’s right. But how you gain that experience is up to you. For me, editing is an instinctive process, much like directing, but you need to school that instinct, give it a structure, give it a framework to be instinctive within...

Editing is a mix of art and business. You get to create art by juxtaposing images, words, sounds and performance to evoke emotion and thought in those who consider your work.

Opinion: Outsourcing Post Cuts Costs and Risk

In this era of economic uncertainty, outsourcing post-production services for on-going projects may appear, at first blush, counter-intuitive. After all, why shouldn’t a production company or network with on-going projects create its own "in-house" post operation to reduce outlays, especially during tough budget-challenging times? Well, after the total cost of having in-house post production services and support are factored in, the real numbers may be surprising.
