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 September meeting was a sizable one, but that's understandable. There were nominations for the Guild's Fall elections. I walked into the hall expecting to see every office contested, but the way it turned out, all the action was for slots on the executive board.

Watercolour on paper is a popular motion graphics style. For my latest experiment while playing with the Foam and Turbulent Displace effects, I started zeroing in on a watercolour look, that while still rough is pretty convincing.

Interview: Kevin Tent, ACE, Editor and Mindy Ellio

Director Alexander Payne first mentioned the script for Nebraska to editor Kevin Tent, ACE, nearly a decade ago when the two were finishing Sideways. Tent, who’s edited all Payne’s features, recalls the director’s summary of the project: it would star Bruce Dern, be black and white and have the feel of Peter Bogdonavich films, particularly The Last Picture Show.
