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

Apple’s Final Cut Pro X has spawned many tribal arguments since its launch eight years ago. There have been plenty of debates about the pros and cons of its innovative design and editing model.

Episode 226 — Justin Raleigh Interview

Welcome to Episode 226! I’m speaking with Justin Raleigh who is a creature effects specialist who owns Fractured Effects. This award winning studio is responsible for everything from Aquaman to Westworld and so many more amazing projects. It was really fun to sit down and talk about the special effects side of things — rather than visual effects — and how the technology is bridging the two. There is a lot of cool stuff that we get into!

There comes a time in the career of an Editor where we don’t know how to take the next step, whether it’s just starting out, or hitting a rut mid-career.  Sometimes we just need someone to nudge us in a certain direction and to illuminate the way for us.  Or we’ve lost a bit of […]
