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

To supervising sound editor Wylie Stateman, writer-director Peter Berg’s new action drama Lone Survivor is an “extremely powerful, intimate film, with a unique cinematic style.” The film tells the harrowing story of four American Navy SEALs who, in June 2005, were assigned to capture a prominent Taliban leader on the mountainous Afghanistan-Pakistan border. “The tension as the film’s SEAL team attempts to escape after a botched mission, while gradually losing communications with base a...

As a music editor, I can honestly state that working with director Alexander Payne has to be one of the best gigs ever. He has a fantastic team, makes wonderful, moving films, and is nothing short of a pleasure to work with. I have been with him since 1999’s Election, followed by About Schmidt (2002) and Sideways (2004). Our last two films together — The Descendants (2011) and this year’s Nebraska — posed different and unexpected challenges from the previous films.

The first time that Greg Hayden, A.C.E., watched Ben Stiller as Walter Mitty on the Avid in his edit bay, he knew this was going to be a different kind of film for the actor-director. It certainly wasn’t Zoolander or Tropic Thunder, the broad comedies he previously cut for the actor-director. This was more like The Apartment or Being There (maybe that’s why Stiller cast Shirley MacLaine as Mitty’s sweet and sensitive mom). Stiller’s The Secret Life of Walter Mitty opens Christmas Day thr...
