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

When it comes to documentary construction, one of the first steps, from my understanding anyway, is research and that step gets repeated time and time again and the story develops. I've been working on a particular documentary on and off for a few years now and it still returns to the research stage. Filmmakers can...

Archiving of media assets has been, and always will be, the red-headed step-child of the movie and TV business. It costs money now for an uncertain return at an unknown date––which doesn't make for a very appealing budget line item. When production was film-based, negative trims and outtakes were routinely stored in vaults and available for either stock usage or restoration purposes for many decades.

Apple released its "industry changing" video editing software Final Cut Pro X and upon tinkering with it a little, most video editors around the world screamed in outrage.

I was going to school and working in a restaurant when I met my former husband––a successful businessman whom I knew through my job. Troubled hearts can be drawn together and we were both on the rebound personally. Our issues drew us together like magnets (my self-esteem and his love to stay out and party).

Through several TV projects and five feature films, the relationship between editor Dan Lebental, A.C.E., and director Jon Favreau has evolved to the point where Lebental views himself as Favreau's creative consultant when it comes to helping the director figure out exactly where his movies are going.
