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

Territory editor Dave Crosslin’s talent and wry sense of humor were tapped for 5-hour ENERGY’s off-kilter campaign for the popular energy shot, directed by Nicolas Hill. Lucky Airlines, the Los Angeles and Detroit-based production company, also collaborated on the concepts for the spots, which are a departure from the tone of the company’s previous campaigns – bringing an over-the-top style and comedic energy to the popular brand.

I am the head editor of a daily sports (comedy) news show. I decided to record the screen of one of my edits for today. I recorded myself editing for over 5 hours and sped it up to 3388% to show the world what it is I do everyday. Enjoy!

Inside the Edit is an online learning program developed by veteran editor Paddy Bird over the course of three years to give a unique access and insights into the art of editing. I am a self-taught editor and if, like me, you fought your way on your own into learning how to best use a Timeline, you’ve probably noticed that you can find a gazillion books and tutorials about the technical aspect of editing, but not much about the intelligence...

At least three different editors in various locations on the planet were able to do their editing tasks using DaVinci Resolve 11 via a shared hierarchy. Adjustments could be made from any workstation through a MacMini server that connected all the users, and the resulting metadata transferred via cat 7 Ethernet to everyone involved.
