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

Is Editing an Art or a Craft?

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.

Pacing - To advance or develop (something) at a particular rate or tempo.  That is the definition I pulled that is most appropriate.  Pacing first and foremost should advance your story.  How do you advance your story with pacing you ask?  The pace of a story, or a section of the story tells the viewer...

UNION MADE

I remember sitting in the theatre watching Ingmar Bergman’s Wild Strawberries and being blown away by the visual metaphors in this movie. His opening dream sequence — the clock with no hands, the coffin spilling out of the hearse — captured my imagination.

Jeff Wolf on Editing Comedy

https://www.aotg.com/jeff-wolf-on-editing-comedy-2/

Comedy editing is one of the more difficult styles of editing. If the actors delivery is off, the timing is off and as an editor, you need to "Try" to fix it for pacing and timing in the overall film. Not everyone is meant to cut comedy films and shows, editors who may excel in one style of comedy editing might not excel in another.
