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

A show is "laffed" after the dialogue mix or after the entire mix. The laughs start after the "laffer" wheels the Laff box in. Whoa... hold the press...That was then. Now Charley Douglass’s original machine from the ’50s, like everything else, comes in a digital format. Still, it contains titters, guffaws, snickers, and chuckles of varying lengths.

To my generation of editors, Dede Allen was a revered editor par excellence, a queen of the cutting room. She worked endlessly and tirelessly to breathe in the essence of the film’s meaning and make sure it got to screen with the exact number of frames exactly placed...

Some people plan and scheme for years about how to forge a career in the film business. For a lucky few, it's almost a divine accident. Such is the case with editor Carol Littleton.

"It no longer bugs me that few people, including critics, understand what I do", says film editor Dede Allen. Until Bonnie and Clyde, few people except her associates even knew of her. Since then, films like Rachel, Rachel and Alice's Restaurant take on an additional interest because today's audiences...

We polled a few familiar faces on what they'd like to ask JC Bond, one of the additional editors on Alice in Wonderland, if they had the chance. JC agreed to answer them directly so we're posting the full Questions below-which covers the film's Avid workflow, editing in 2D vs. 3D, and much more. (Alice in Wonderland hits theaters today, so go check it out!)

Multi-cam shows are recorded from first scene to last in front of an audience with three or four cameras. The cameras, labeled A, B, C, and D, are maneuvered by a cabled gang of four camera operators who travel up and down the stage, getting their assigned shots. D camera is frequently called X camera or referred to as the Iso camera as it’s often an isolated camera, running independent of A, B, and C. The Iso cam picks up isolated angles and may run only 50% of the time.
