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

Zydeco music is a blend of rhythm and blues and is a genre that is indigenous to the Louisiana Creoles. Filmmaker Tom Uhl's documentary, Zydeco Breakfast, features the sights and sounds of live Zydeco music and dancing during brunch throughout various Louisiana restaurants.

John Williams has no doubt that Star Wars films will go on indefinitely now that the franchise is owned by Disney, but it sounds like he's over scoring them.

We all know these special moments of success. Be it when you figure out a new production technique, when you accidentally or consciously record/design that special sound, when a game audio system that you’ve conceptualized and worked on for weeks finally comes together in the way you imagined it or when you finally figure out a […]

Presented by the Academy, the Oscar Concert offered a stirring evening of music from the Los Angeles Philharmonic, featuring suites from each of this year’s five Oscar nominated original scores, most conducted by the composers themselves.
