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

An Overview of Hollywood Editing in the 1930's

December 1, 2012, 06:22 PM

https://www.editorsguild.com/magazine.cfm?ArticleI...

As soon as the MAY-JUN 12 issue of CineMontage — featuring "The 75 Best Edited Films" as selected by Editors Guild members — arrived in mailboxes, readers’ comments immediately ensued: Why was (insert title of your favorite film here) not included? Did Rope actually make the list, or is that a joke? Was it really possible that Citizen Kane was not number one? But the overwhelming question, from a curious film scholar's point of view: Why were there no films chosen from the 1930s — the on...

Finishing the Hobbit

Just two days before the premiere of The Hobbit, Peter Jackson's latest foray into the Tolkien universe, the film's post-production team was still hard at work, tweaking, assembling, even adding new animations and effects up to the very last minute.

A HAUNTING - THAT'S A WRAP

http://lfhd.net/2012/11/22/a-haunting-thats-a-wrap...

Well, I'm done with A HAUNTING.  I sent off my last episode a couple weeks ago. The good news is that the ratings started out good, and only got better and better. So that means that another season is a strong possibility.  Although if it happened it might not be for a while...

50 Kisses The Feature Film Enters Post

Last night I worked into the wee hours with editor friend Simon Reglar, planning the post production process for 50 Kisses. Simon is an old pal who worked with me on Urban Ghost Story before pursuing a career as an editor – he is currently wrapping up on Merlin for the BBC after which he will jump ship to edit 50 Kisses. FANTASTIC!

Rethinking Raw

Digital camera development has been running in high gear for several years, outpacing any other portion of our industry. Thanks to a revolution started by RED, Nikon and Canon, videographers are now blessed with a wide range of small, affordable, high-performance imaging systems that have liberated us from the restrictions of the mundane 2/3" video camera.

ScreenLight Review Revisited

November 19, 2012, 12:30 PM

http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/EditingWhiz/~3/CdV0...

In May 2012 I reviewed ScreenLight – a video sharing website allowing production companies to upload videos for client review. However, in that review, I just went over the basic features available and not very in-depth. So, when I started doing some motion graphic work for a client, I decided this would be a perfect...
