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

Today we’re going to talk about sound diffusion because there’s a lot of confusion in diffusion. I don’t mean that comically its just that I get a lot of questions about diffusion and people seem to be really confused about what a diffused sound field is and that’s what we’re talking about in our rooms.

The rhythm of the editing and pitch-perfect tone of the score became the heartbeat for the emotional conflicts in the Academy-award nominated feature, Whiplash. As part of the Director’s Close-up Series, Film Independent brought together director Damien Chazelle, editor Tom Cross and composer Justin Hurwitz to discuss how they collaborated to enhance the dramatic beats of the story.

This year’s visual effects category is as competitive as ever. Just look at the films that didn’t get an Oscar nomination — Edge of Tomorrow, Noah, Godzilla,Maleficent, Transformers: Age of Extinction, The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies — and you realize that there were some incredible VFX created in 2014.
