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

From the moment I stepped foot inside the Los Angeles Convention Center for last week’s gaming trade show E3, I was determined to get through as many virtual reality demos as humanly possible without vomiting. Some of them were even pretty good!

It takes a lot of work to get films right. This means that a lot of changes occur throughout the history of the film. Sometimes this happens in the writing stage, or during pre-production, or while shooting, even when editing.

If you don’t know who Anonymous is, don’t worry… you’re not alone. No one really knows who the group is. We just know that they’re a “hackitvist” group that guards the morality of the internet. Some say they are activists. Some say they’re heroes. Some even say they’re terrorists. But in the end, they don’t discriminate when it comes to picking the targets of their ire. From Scientology to corrupt governments, they concentrate their cyber-attacks on any organization or indivi...
