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

I'm working on a new feature documentary about a Tibetan refugee born in exile, turned activist and heavy metal musician. The title is catchy, Journey of a Dream, and so far the editing, a journey of its own, has also been a dream.

If you have your own edit suite then you might already have the aeron chair or a Wacom graphics tablet or a fancy eCinemas display. But what you might not have are some of these little kick-knacks that make the edit suite home. I’m sure there are others. Place some links in the comments below if you have your own favorites.

I learned a long time ago that without great audio, all those great pictures are just Ok. Audio is an incredibly important part of the storytelling process. For the most part the movie theater experience visually has remained relatively unchanged. A projector put up the movie on the big screen.

After gaining Oscar attention for his work with director Alfonso Cuar??n on dystopian science-fiction drama Children of Men, Alex Rodr??guez worked on a couple of smaller projects before venturing into uncharted territory. After editing Gael Garc??a Bernal's directorial debut, Deficit, and the Bernal-starring Rudo y Cursi, Rodr??guez signed up for something completely different — Planet 51, a big-budget animated film produced in Madrid by Ilion Animation Studios, Handmade Films, and Antena 3.....

Compared to many of the other Oscar categories, "Best Film Editing" is often a tough one to predict. With "Best Cinematography," "Best Art Direction," and "Best Costume Design," for instance, you can clearly see how each nominee demonstrated a mastery of their craft and set themselves apart from their peers. With editing, however, aptly called "The Invisible Art" of cinema, what’s been left out is just as important as what ends up in the final cut.

For Oscar-nominated picture editors, 2009 may have been the year of the level playing field. Two lower-budgeted independent films––Neil Daniels’ Precious: Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire, edited by Joe Klotz, and Kathryn Bigelow’s The Hurt Locker, edited by Bob Murawski and Chris Innis––stand at opposite ends of the budget and conceptual spectrum from James Cameron’s lushly mounted and groudbreaking Avatar, edited by Cameron, A.C.E., Stephen Rivkin, A.C.E. and John Refoua, A.C....

In the world of editing, I know of many who wish they could make a living in post-production, even doing the smallest projects. Many editors in and outside Hollywood do, moonlighting on random corporate promos and commercials. They often wish they could get something more regular, like cutting a tv series be it only on the smallest cable channel...

One movie that had Park City audiences buzzing at this year’s Sundance Film Festival was Casino Jack and the United States of Money (opening on May 7, 2010). This daring documentary takes a piercing look at the lies, greed and corruption surrounding infamous Washington, DC lobbyist Jack Abramoff and his cronies. Casino Jack marks the third feature film collaboration between director Alex Gibney (Oscar-winner for Taxi to the Dark Side) and editor-producer Alison Ellwood and co-editor Lindy...
