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

Dialogue on the move

When I saw/heard Gravity last year it set me of on an exploration of dialogue panning to such an extent that I experimented with some fairly extreme panning in the film I was working on at the time. My experiment proved to be, well, inconclusive at best. So I went back to Gravity to see just how the panning worked within the context of the film, then decided to look beyond it and discovered some interesting dialogue panning going on in Cars (2006) and Strange Days (1995) as well.

Vulture recently published an extensive accounting of Harvey Weinstein’s Oscar campaign shenanigans, a laundry list of dirty tricks long enough to impress Richard Nixon. Life Is Beautiful’s Robert Benigni won an Oscar after moving to Los Angeles during awards season and schmoozing at industry parties every night for a month. The same year, Weinstein paid $5 million on Shakespeare In Love’s Oscar campaign, more than twice the norm...

Philip Glass on writing music for film

January 30, 2014, 05:45 AM

http://thedissolve.com/features/interview/390-phil...

Music is a key component of filmmaking, but it’s hard to think of many films where image and sound are as inextricable as they are in Godfrey Reggio’s Qatsi trilogy: Koyaanisqatsi, Powaqqatsi, and Naqoyqatsi. Philip Glass’ scores hold together Reggio’s tumbles of abstract imagery and philosophical musings, providing a sense of unity and progression that makes them enthralling. Glass and Reggio’s fourth feature-length collaboration, Visitors, had its world première at the Toronto Inter...
