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

Editing is all about focusing attention on what the filmmakers want an audience to see at any given time in a film. The editing on Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close takes its focus from the book and adapted screenplay that were written from point of view of the lead character Oskar (Thomas Horn). Both mediums externalized the boy's thoughts in voice over.

A brand new plugin from Graeme Nattress, Levels and Curves gives you on screen colour correction controls in Final Cut Pro X. Anybody who has been in the FCP ecosystem will tell you Graeme Nattress has huge respect within the industry. His plugins were not only some of the first filmlook style available, they are also among the best.

As a followup to my previous post, I received this question (or something like it) in a few emails: "do you think this same trend will hit the non-broadcast arena?" The answer is, it depends. It depends on what kind of work you are doing. Final Cut Pro X is not an unusable editor for many folks. Undesirable for some, but it is capable of editing programs together. People who are editing for the web or for DVD delivery...
