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

Recent security issues related to Apple’s QuickTime 7 on Windows have been of concern to users of Adobe’s products on that platform. It’s always been Adobe’s opinion that as a company we want to provide high performance native support for as many formats as possible.

The McDonald’s spot,‘40,000 Friends’ showcases Burrell’s deftness at creating documentary-style targeted ads, tapping iconic director, Bob Giraldi's talent. A previous McD spot called upon another lauded director, Joe Pytka, to craft its real-life inspired story. Driven by agency’s sharply contrasting concepts & the directors’ powerful cinematic storytelling styles - creative editor Bob Ackerman, of The Colonie, wove together a pair of spots with very approaches to delivering a share...

90% of film editing is selecting. Selecting is the creative process of finding and organizing your shots before you begin the actual edit. The better your selects, the better prepared you are for greatness.

The editing in Requiem for a Dream holds thematic and character relevance to the overall film, rather than just acting as a way to piece scenes together. Every quick-cut has a meaning, as does the split-screen sequences. In this video essay, I look at why editor Jay Rabinowitz and Darren Aronofsky compiled the film the way they did, and the effect it has on the audience.
