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

She also just won the ACE Eddie for Best Edited Documentary (feature), My Octopus Teacher. The film was also directed by James Reed and was also written and edited by Dan Schwalm who couldn’t join us for this discussion.

I want to break down a discussion I had with Hugo Martin, the Creative Director for DOOM and DOOM Eternal, and all the key takeaways I learned from speaking to him. I’m really excited about this. It’s a bit of a different formant. I did an Episode with Hugo a while back and it was in between DOOM and Call of Duty. At the time, we couldn’t get clearance. But because so many amazing insights were shared, I wanted to go ahead and do it through this format.

Netflix’s official trailer for Zack Snyder’s “Army of the Dead” unveiled one of the film’s big surprises: A zombie tiger prowling around Las Vegas. The zombie tiger, named Valentine in the movie, is just one way Snyder and his team are attempting to elevate the zombie genre with their upcoming Netflix tentpole, and it turns out the creation of the undead feline shares a tangential relationship to the streaming giant’s documentary sensation “Tiger King.” As revealed by producer De...

Good writers are usually trying to gradually lead you to a place that will surprise you when you get there, but which is also a place you think you might have anticipated if you had paid attention to all the clues.

It's a sad weekend for the tech industry. Adobe has confirmed that co-founder Dr. Charles "Chuck" Geschke (shown at left) died of unmentioned causes on April 16th at the age of 81. He and Dr. John Warnock launched Adobe in 1982 after leaving Xerox, and Geschke served as COO, president and board chairman between 1986 and 2017. He was also a board member until April 2020. However, it's the technology Geschke helped develop that you'll most likely remember — there's a good chance you're using it ...
