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

First broadcast in 1963, Doctor Who is one of the UK’s longest-running television shows. Its longevity is due in part to the unique ability of its hero – a Time Lord from the planet Gallifrey – to regenerate his physical form, thus enabling successive actors to inherit the iconic role as the decades roll past.

A good dialog edit is a work of art. You balance room tones (or world tones); you time every edit seamlessly around breaths and natural speech patterns; you do everything within your power to make the listener believe that it was all spoken at one time, by one person, in one place. There are no […]

I recently purchased a Mac Pro to replace the old cheese-grater Mac Pro I've had since 2009. When moving cables from my old Mac to the new one I was stumped when it came to plugging in a Toslink audio cable that I'd used in the past to capture high resolution audio from a device in my office. In fact, I don't see any audio input jack at all, much less a Toslink connection. How am I supposed to do this now?
