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

Configuring an iMac for video editing

I bought a new 27-inch iMac when they went on sale Friday, specifically for video editing. And, because I've had a lot of requests recently, I wanted to tell you what I bought and why.

40 yr ago ACE started the Student Comp

As probably one of the oldest editing students in existence, (I'm a late bloomer. What can I say?) I am challenging myself to do and learn all I can in this field that has captured my heart and soul. For the past almost five years, I have been taking college filmmaking classes, starting with my first editing class on February 18, 2008.

On Editing and Cooking

December 6, 2012, 11:53 AM

http://blogs.indiewire.com/womenandhollywood/guest...

The first time I told some friends that I was working on a film about a man in an iron lung trying to lose his virginity, I got looks that were somewhere between incredulity and pity. I could tell they thought that watching it would be more like politically correct homework than a movie anyone would want to see. But Ben Lewin's script, The Sessions, was far from that. It was a compassionate, humorous story about a disabled man's journey to adulthood that was surprisingly universal.

Editing of the Crash Sequence in Flight

December 5, 2012, 07:31 PM

http://www.ropeofsilicon.com/a-look-at-the-editing...

Love or hate Flight, I don't think there will be many out there that didn't at the very least enjoy the first 30 minutes or so and weren't jolted to attention with the film's dramatic crash sequence. Today the New York Times is taking a closer look at the editing of the sequence, which includes the above image, which previews a look at what six minutes of the film looks like in the AVID editing system. Give the picture a click for a much larger and detailed version.

Is Editing an Art or a Craft?

December 5, 2012, 07:34 AM

http://ronsussmanedits.blogspot.ca/2012/12/is-edit...

In today's digital age of ftp, Drop box, "the cloud", why isn’t there more of a lure and desire from clients to work with an editor remotely? The big studios do it all the time with 3D specialists based all over the world and even render to remote locations.
