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

For this month’s topic of Spectrum, I decided to take the word literally, as applied to color, and consider its relationship to sound. The impetus for this decision was a conversation I had with a co-worker, the late sound designer Stillwind Borenstein, about thirteen years ago. He explained an interest that, since both sound and […]

MacGuffins are everywhere in cinema, from the holy grail in Indiana Jones to the One Ring in The Lord of the Rings. However, not all films make good use of the power of these plot devices, namely action and superhero films. In this video essay, Sage Hyden of Just Write explores how these films oversimplify their narratives by making MacGuffins the focal point of the entire plot. Not only that, but he suggests five ways to use them so they serve your story rather than the other way around.

It's only been a few days since Star Wars: The Last Jedi bowed in theaters, and thus we are only at the beginning of what will be a long and hard fought debate. Everyone has an opinion about the film, we here at CinemaBlend were even we're divided on it.

he close-up is a cinematography technique used often on faces to show nuanced emotions or to hammer in broad emotions on an otherwise jaded audience. Recently, it’s been used more for details on small procedures or actions, highlighting the minutiae of machinery or hands working. But its usefulness in the realm of audience effect, changing how we see the minds of characters, is paramount.
