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

The Edit Bay - A Romanticized View of One Editor

February 7, 2014, 12:53 PM

http://www.screenlight.tv/blog/2014/02/07/my-edit-...

For four years I worked in a glorified closet otherwise known as my editing bay. My room was approximately 6’ wide by 9’ long. It had neutral gray walls and a desk that squeezed all the way across the back wall. On my desk sat the mixer, mouse, colorful keyboard and phone hidden way off in the corner. Whoever calls the editor for their opinion? Beside my two 23” monitors were two giant oddly colored speakers. On top of one of the speakers was a picture of my wife and I when we were t...

Zimmer Performs Driving Miss Daisy/Man Of Steel Li

Last year's tremendous Varese Sarabande 35th Anniversary Gala had many great moments. Here is Hans Zimmer and a few of his regular collaborators joining the GSPO for a Driving Miss Daisy/Man Of Steel medley. When this concert was held in May of 2013 the big trailer for Man Of Steel had just come out. So it was a very cool and unannounced surprise when Driving Miss Daisy faded away to hear a rendition of Hans' Man Of Steel theme. Steven Allen Fox conducts.
