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

Ludwig Göransson is fairly new to the music-for-screens game, but it surprised no one when his score for the billion-dollar “Black Panther” — a deft swirl of blockbuster orchestra, hip-hop and authentic Africana — prompted his first Oscar nomination (and three Grammys on Feb. 10). The Swedish composer spoke to Variety in the midst of scoring the Disney Plus “Star Wars” spinoff series “The Mandalorian.”

Sound does not travel in the void of space, and yet something about going out of this world just seems to inspire film composers to bring their A-game. From John Williams’ Star Wars themes to Hans Zimmer dialing up his dramatic tendencies to 11 for Interstellar, the final frontier has inspired some of the greatest and grandest film scores of all time.

hen we think of Academy Award-winning sound design, 2017’s bombastic Dunkirk score by Hanz Zimmer or 2016’s haunting Arrival soundtrack (Jóhann Jóhannsson) come to mind, but the 2019 Oscars may surprise us by rewarding a compelling new trend in cinematic sound: the absence of sound itself.
