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

For the new ABC show Pushing Daisies, veteran editor Stuart Bass, ACE, (an Emmy-winner for his work on Fox's Arrested Development) employed a familiar television workflow: the show is shot in 35mm and transferred to HDCAM SR in post, and Bass works with DVCAM copies of the HD tapes at 14:1 compression on his Avid Media Composer. The new ingredient in his editorial stew this time around is Avid's ScriptSync feature, introduced this spring at NAB, which automatically matches camera takes to...

Everything is a transition in editing. There are transitions you add to the timeline like dissolves and wipes. There are transitions you use from the raw video. If you are doing a story about a person walking into a house. You need some kind of transition shot to get them into the house like the door opening and your subject walking in.

This year, film editor Michael Kahn, ACE, will mark his 30th anniversary with director Steven Spielberg, a run of success equaled only by the director-editor teaming of Clint Eastwood and Joel Cox, ACE, and Martin Scorsese and Thelma Schoonmaker, ACE. Though he has worked with other directors––most notably Adrian Lyne on Fatal Attraction (1987)––it is Spielberg with whom his name is most linked, beginning with Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977) and continuing through such diverse....
