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

Editing Silence of the Lambs

Speaking about the evolution of the story ... It is interesting the way you play with the viewer's expectations by breaking the logical evolution of personajes.D and A: We wanted to keep thin layers of background of the characters, so when you think you know a character that fits with a certain stereotype, reveal something about him that makes you see something different. The guy you were listed as a fool becomes more complicated than that: identifies himself as the guy who makes the tough...

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.

Editing of the Crash Sequence in Flight

December 5, 2012, 07:31 PM

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.

Yeah, I'm still working on the first. However, I thought it was worth mentioning that I have my second feature lined up. It's a slasher comedy called The Ballad of Sadie Grace, directed by Joshua Hull. It’s currently in pre-production...

I received this article from a NY Film Academy teacher. It's laudable because it explains to eager shooters the importance of editing and why it should be considered from the get go. Thank you John and Anjum Bhardwaj who emailed me the request and article! When the Cinematographer Thinks Like an Editor by John Loughlin...

Assistant Video Editing

December 4, 2012, 01:27 PM

http://blogs.creativecow.net/blog/12141/assistant-...

I am back in the post production world of Assistant Editing at JOHLT Productions, a company formally known as Edelman Productions. After a half decade of working in TV advertising sales I realized my true passion was to spend the rest of my life working in the production side of the house. So, I decided to go back to what I was doing before trying to become either a freelance or full time video editor. This was something I felt I could do for a very long time and not have any regret I was in it.
