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

I offered to answer some questions to brand new FCPX user Maciek Kaliski. We discuss various workflow tips and ideas. Part of the reason Maciek decided to give FCPX a try was that according to him “Rippling” doesn’t really work well in Premiere, I’m not entirely sure about that but I think Collision Detection has something to do with his observation.

It's been over two decades since CGI came careening through the silver screen to murder cops, lawyers, and other civil servants in Terminator 2 and Jurassic Park.

When Freelancers Union founder Sara Horowitz created a health plan for independent workers, a top concern of her members was access to mental health care. "You work with coal miners and you learn everything there is about black lung," Horowitz told the Village Voice last week. "You work with freelancers and you learn about depression."

“Mad Max: Fury Road” is the opposite of subtle. There are massive explosions, hordes of dehydrated mutants, women being literally milked… It’s an insane wonderland of brutality and over-the-top visuals. But there is nothing crazier in the entire movie than the Doof Warrior, a blind mutant wearing a red onesie, riding a truck made out of amps and speakers who wields a flame-throwing guitar and never stops playing rock music.
