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

While sound and dialogue are integral parts of film making, lesser films which fail to adequately exploit the visual possibilities of the medium could just as easily play on the radio.

I was on a project recently where the post facility used it to online/finish a feature film. The turnover was decidedly different and more cumbersome than a typical AVID/FCP show, though I would also say that if SMOKE was the usual route, eventually turnover would actually become simpler than the current standard route.

And yet, to be really good at a particular skill or even inherent talent, most human beings must concentrate on one or two at a time. Many studies have indicated as much; even piano prodigies must practice constantly.

Cut + Run editor Dayn Williams, who previously collaborated with Rinsch on projects for Hiscox Insurance and Sci-Fi channel, calls Podarok: "an amazing opportunity to edit commissioned film with incredible scope, brilliant imagery and feature film pacing." He adds, "Plus I got to work with Carl and Dan Swietlik, ACE. It doesn't get better that that."

Cutting 3D is a boon to editors because they get to participate more in the creating of the whole picture - its look, characters, their lines and the story - over a longer period, beginning with storyboarding in pre-production.

Like everyone else, I’ve viewed more 3D movies in the past few months than I’ve seen in years. Afterwards I’ve wondered two things: 1) Is 3D a money-making fad or here to stay? 2) How exactly is 3D edited?
