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

Writer-director-editor West (whose next project is actually Cabin Fever 2: Spring Fever, the sequel to Roth’s debut) pays meticulous attention to every detail of the film—from the dialogue and clothing to the lighting and camerawork—to seamlessly transport his audience back a few decades and make The House of the Devil feel like a film shot during the golden age of horror and only recently rediscovered.

Trailer: Trash or Treasure Part 2

Most of us have contradictory attitude toward trailers. Trailers are a bonus - we get to see a part of another film - for the price of seeing the movie we just paid for. They help us get in the mood for the feature. We can use them to reject a movie and save ourselves time and money. They can also be refreshers, helping us relive and remember a movie.

Sometimes the good, old title with static text just doesn’t cut it. In this episode, we’ll make the text be another layer of video.
