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

I’ve always admired those who could do amazing animations in After Effects. I remember back in 2005 watching Creative Cow’s hour long tutorials. They were always complicated and some how I would miss a step and nothing would work. This week, I had to overcome my fear and jumped in the deep end.

Film Editing Is the Invisible Art

The director Neil Labute once said about film editing: "Together, you and your editor fashion something new and fresh from a pile of celluloid. Without question, it is here that I now feel that one's real film is born."

Years ago, an editor told me that editing is 60% editing ability and 40% getting on with people and I think that holds true

How Movie Sound Effects Are Made

There's a scene in Gravity where Sandra Bullock's character, Ryan, is wielding a drill in space — but there is, of course, no air in space, therefore no sound. So in the film, viewers heard the vibrations Sandra would have felt through her space suit. Pretty complicated stuff, no?

All is Lost producer on finding the perfect sound

February 28, 2014, 01:42 PM

As producer, part of Dodson's job was recruiting the perfect sound editing team for the film, which is now available on DVD. It was a critical task, as the movie features little dialogue from Redford, so the sounds of the storm, the wind, the waves and the boat act as characters in themselves. Most of those sounds would be added and created in post production.
