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

Notes from the 2014 Editors Retreat

March 7, 2014, 01:52 PM

http://provideocoalition.com/ssimmons/story/notes-...

The event kicked off with a mix and mingle (and open bar) where attendees were able to make introductions, exchange business cards and chat each other up. Events like this are always a lot of fun as you’re able to say hello to familiar faces that you might only see at NAB and meet others you only know via some type of online communication. Everyone is there for the same reason so approaching a stranger is easy as they are all willing to talk and share war stories from the editing room.
