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

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug saw some of the best special effects to date. If you haven’t seen it be warned, this will have spoilers. That said, the scene where Smaug chases Bilbo about the mountain of treasure is jaw-dropping and obviously took a lot of work. Yet the barrel escape scene seems more straight forward. That intricate blend of 4K footage and GoPro shots is thanks to Weta.

Technology is an important part of filmmaking, as well as something we like to talk about here at No Film School, but when it comes down to it, one, if not the, most integral part of our craft is storytelling. Editors and instructors Larry Jordan and Norman Hollyn forgo the “tech talk”, as they say, to delve into a conversation about the great influence film/video editing has in terms of telling stories, including ways certain edits can “guide” the viewer’s eye, attention, and emotio...

Joe Letteri is the man behind some of the most eye-popping visual effects of the last two decades. Steven Spielberg turned to Letteri to help him design the dinosaurs for Jurassic Park and James Cameron relied on him to create the Na’vi in Avatar. Peter Jackson hired him as visual effects supervisor for Weta Digital 11 years ago, and in that time, Letteri has created Gollum for The Lord of the Rings, the title character in King Kong, and Caesar in Rise of the Planet of the Apes.

Whatever you may think of Gravity, the one undeniable thing about the film is just how stunning its visuals are. Never before has a movie so brilliantly captured the realities of space, putting the audience right next to Sandra Bullock’s lone astronaut as she struggles for survival.

Brent Burge has been in the film industry for close to three decades, and in that time he’s worked in the sound department on dozens of projects. He hooked up with Peter Jackson in the mid-‘90s and has worked with the Kiwi auteur ever since, on the Lord of the Rings trilogy, King Kong, Lovely Bones, and now on a pair of Hobbit films. With his work as supervising sound editor on Desolation of Smaug, he hopes to garner his first Oscar nomination.

As smoothly as it plays on the screen, making “Her” was hardly an easy feat. As our interviews with the Spike Jonze film’s costume designer, production designer, cinematographer and assistant director over the past week suggest, there were conscious efforts to avoid so much of what came in previous futurist movies...
