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

Not too long ago I was given a project to cut and it came with a producer that I hadn't worked with before. They came in to my bay, handed me the script and told me generally what the piece was about. Then they left and I got to work. But then later, partway through the...

Clint Eastwood's 'J. Edgar'

December 6, 2011, 04:57 PM

When tackling this type of storytelling, as well as a very dialogue-driven film like this one, a director needs to put his trust in his editor. Eastwood had that peace of mind thanks to long-time collaborators Joel Cox and Gary Roach. Cox first started working with Eastwood back in 1975 and then joined him full time in 1984; Roach started with Cox on Absolute Power in 1997.

http://www.premiumbeat.com/blog/community-of-edito...

Last month, CNN announced layoffs of about 50 of its editors and videographers, stating that, in large part, because cameras and editing equipment were so plentiful in the hands of the masses, they would begin relying more heavily on consumer generated content, rather than professional content.

We all know that with Adobe's new release schedule a major upgrade to Adobe After Effects CS6 is in the works and will be released at some point in 2012, most likely around NAB. You may or may not like Adobe's new upgrade policy (some definitely don’t like it). Regardless, we all want to know what Adobe has in store for the next version of After Effects.
