To The Aotg.com Community,

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
Aotg.com Founder

"3-D is easy. Just remember to do everything––perfectly––twice," jokes picture editor Ed W. Marsh. At the Producers Guild of America’s recent "Produced By" event, a visionary imaging and entertainment conference held at Sony Pictures Studios in June, Marsh joined a panel of 3-D experts representing every step of the stereoscopic workflow. The panel, titled "A New Dimension," offered a wealth of advice for 3-D producers on team-building, as well as demos of products and techniques...

A Classifieds section has been added. We've received many emails about posting things directly onto the Art of the Guillotine Main Page. Instead we revived the classifieds section.

Film Editing - A Hidden Art?

July 8, 2009, 04:01 PM

http://pov.imv.au.dk/Issue_06/section_1/artc2A.htm...

For a film editor it is a cause for frequent amusement and/or irritation, that film reviewers are never able to point out the editor's contribution. If a film is described as very effectively cut but otherwise long and boring, the editor knows that the film may have contained conspicuous transitions of scenes that were invented during the shooting or in the scriptwriting, but that the editing was ineffective or even sloppy.

I wanted to share a little work in progress file. I find After Effects tremendously useful for resizing video. In fact I use it often to pre-process footage before applying additional codecs.
