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

The intricate film has nearly 600 visual effects shots and was shot using a range of source formats, including HDCAM and Super 35mm film. To help achieve its distinctive visual appeal, the film's conceptual art and design was created by a team of artists behind the Star Wars trilogy (Iain McCaig and Ninth Ray). The film was edited entirely in HD on four Avid Media Composer systems using the DNxHD codec.

Post-election humor abounded at the third annual Hollywood Post Alliance (HPA) Awards ceremony, held November 6 at the Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles. From HPA president Leon Silverman’s saluting "Joe the Editor," to MC Wil Shriner declaiming that he’d just lost his job as Sarah Palin’s personal shopper, the clearly expressed mood was one of hope for better times in the industry. As Silverman said, "These are challenging times in Hollywood and particularly for post, which is going...

Location, location, location...Choosing the right location for your editing suite is arguably the single most important decision you will make and making the right decision could save you a ton of money and time. If possible, do not place your editing suite next to the mechanical room or an elevator shaft and avoid exterior walls and windows next to train tracks, busy streets or airports. A room that’s shielded from adjacent rooms by a hallway or closet is ideal. Take advantage of the floor...
