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

Killer Joe Editor Is Influenced by Precedents

Darrin Navarro came to editing via a familiar path: An interest in movies led him to film classes at Los Angeles City College. Within a week or two of seeing what could be done by manipulating the choice of moving images, he knew this was the job for him. A professor got him an internship filing trims with Roger Corman’s New Horizon company, which led Navarro to kick around the low-budget exploitation world for a while, picking up gigs as he could.

Longtime Assistants

Let's hear it for the longtime assistant for enabling the editor to keep story as the primary focus. Assistant editors are the foundation of the editing room — organizing, interfacing and problem-solving. They have witnessed enormous changes in the industry, from the early days of the filmmaking medium in the studio system to an increasingly tapeless environment. The tools may have changed, but the overall shape of their job remains the same: To be there for the editor so the editor can...

Sequence editor Chuck Braverman, known for his flash-frame kinestasis montages/films, opens director Richard Fleischer’s film adaptation of Soylent Green with images of the blossoming bourgeoisie. The pressures and plague of population are then conveyed with such sure-handed conviction that you perceive – we all perceive – just how easily the cookie crumbles.

Recently Apple announced the new Macbook Pro Retina touting several new features. However what they failed to release was a long over due update to the MacPro line. Many professional editors were sadly disappointed by the "refresh" of the MacPros. This left many of our edit suites aging and unable to keep up with software...
