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

Tell Me Again, Why We Hated FCPX?

I remember a long time ago when we cursed Apple for abandoning FCP 7 and foisting FCP X upon us. I can't remember exactly why since I never used FCP X but it seemed the right thing to do once Apple decided not to support FCP 7 anymore and a bunch of editors and writers called FCP X a glorified iMovie...

In early November, Createasphere staged its Entertainment Technology Expo at the Burbank Marriott. Over 75 production and post-production vendors displayed their wares in the main Exhibition Hall, while a handful of companies with larger production equipment found room outside under cloudy skies in Gear Alley. The Expo featured discussion panels, hands-on demonstrations and workshops, and industry mixers throughout its two-day run.

I remember sitting in the theatre watching Ingmar Bergman’s Wild Strawberries and being blown away by the visual metaphors in this movie. His opening dream sequence — the clock with no hands, the coffin spilling out of the hearse — captured my imagination.

An Overview of Hollywood Editing in the 1930's

December 1, 2012, 06:22 PM

https://www.editorsguild.com/magazine.cfm?ArticleI...

As soon as the MAY-JUN 12 issue of CineMontage — featuring "The 75 Best Edited Films" as selected by Editors Guild members — arrived in mailboxes, readers’ comments immediately ensued: Why was (insert title of your favorite film here) not included? Did Rope actually make the list, or is that a joke? Was it really possible that Citizen Kane was not number one? But the overwhelming question, from a curious film scholar's point of view: Why were there no films chosen from the 1930s — the on...
