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

In 2004, TNT introduced TV viewers to librarian Flynn Carsen (played by Noah Wyle), hired by the Metropolitan Public Library who discovered that the establishment was actually protecting a range of historical and often magical items in a secret section. The made-for-TV movie, The Librarian: Quest for the Spear, spurred two sequels and most recently, a television series on TNT starring Rebecca Romjin. In the same vein as the successful film franchise, The Librarians find themselves in a series of...

Top 4 DAWS for iPad

One of the most common questions I get as a music technologist is “When will I be able to use my iPad to replace my digital audio workstation?” For many of us, we may hold fast to ‘never’ as the answer. I’ll be honest, I love my Mac Pro. I love my decked out home studio. But after 2 weeks of restricting myself to working solely on my mobile device, I discovered something. I love my iPad, too. For those of you looking to be able to work on the road, or maybe even simply replace your hom...
