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 Power of Sound and Editing

When most people think about movies, they usually judge them in terms of acting and directing, rarely does a person judge its editing or sound mixing. The reason for that being is because most editors and sound editors do all they can to make their editing as smooth as possible for the audience. When editing and sound mixing is used correctly there’s a certain flow that’s required in a good movie, the movie seems...

2013 HPA Retreat: Rendering in the Cloud

February 23, 2013, 08:16 AM

http://www.postmagazine.com/Post-Blog/2013/Februar...

The annual Hollywood Post Alliance (HPA) Retreat is a relaxed event where media and entertainment techies can meet for informed but informal interactions on the latest developments in the field. Hardware and software, digital storage, DAM and networking-all had a airing in the interesting sessions and the open demo room (this year's demo room was open almost all the time during the event-a good move).

Oscar-nom. editors clear up biggest misconception

February 22, 2013, 09:14 PM

As Life of Pi‘s Squyres puts it, “An actor might read a particular line between six and 100 times, but only one take’s gonna be in the movie.” It’s the editor’s job to pick it, at least initially. It was on Sense and Sensibility, his fourth film with Lee, that Squyres had the epiphany all good editors experience: “It was the first film that I had done with Ang that was all in English, and it’s Emma Thompson, Kate Winslet, Alec Rickman, and Hugh Grant — these great, great actors...

In a continuing conversation with the Oscar season’s best-editing nominees, I recently had the privilege of talking with William Goldenberg, who is actually twice nominated—for Ben Affleck’s Argo and Kathryn Bigelow’s Zero Dark Thirty. (He shares the latter nomination with Dylan Tichenor.) Goldenberg was previously nominated for Seabiscuit and The Insider. Highlights from our conversation...
