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

"Bring the work back into the cutting room" is the mantra of Terry Kelley, A.C.E. To save both money and time producing television shows and movies, picture editor Kelley has established a new workflow procedure that has proven successful on two televison series—Showtime's Brotherhood (2006-2008) and the conspiracy thriller Rubicon, which just finished its first season on AMC.

Guild’s Newest Craftspeople Are Versatile

The recent merger to bring IATSE Local 683’s 1,100 film and video laboratory technicians and cinetechnicians into the Motion Picture Editors Guild, Local 700, was more than just a strategically sound business move for both locals, although it was certainly that. After all, putting all post-production classifications under a single IATSE umbrella was probably overdue, given the industry's digital revolution. Thus, the merger happened with an eye toward making Local 700 "an all-post union,"...

POST PRODUCTION WEEK POST 4: LOVE YOUR BROWSER

I’ve already likened editing to lego in an earlier post, moving blocks around, sticking them together till they make something that works. Jan Bednarz, documentary filmmaker and partner in Buzz Films, is doing a project called the 10th Lego Master, about Duncan Titmarsh, an adult fan of lego (AFOL). In Jan’s teaser film Duncan shows us his lego shed...

This is a follow up post to my original "2 applescripts for final cut editors" post and boy is it a doozy! I didn’t write these – both scripts have been found elsewhere, but they are so useful I’m putting them up here to spread the word!

POST PRODUCTION WEEK POST 3: LOVE YOUR KEYBOARD

I’ve spoken about speed in the last two posts and how vitally important it is to being a better editor. It’s not just the ability to knock jobs off quickly (though this is of course very important from a business standpoint). There’s a degree to which editing is never really completed, you just down tools at the point where you’re as happy as you can hope to be, given the circumstances. Working fast means...
