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

The film editor Christopher Rouse has built an intimate collaborative relationship with the director Paul Greengrass over the past decade. Their partnership began with “The Bourne Supremacy” in 2004, and he won an Oscar in 2008 for his editing of “The Bourne Ultimatum.” He’s up for another Oscar for his work on “Captain Phillips,” based on the hijacking of an American container ship by Somali pirates. Whether Mr. Rouse is editing fiction features or ones based on true events (“Un...

Actor Topher Grace went behind the camera to learn some film editing skills. He nailed it. WHEN Topher Grace graduated up the Hollywood chain and started adding producer credits to his resume, it dawned on him that he had little idea what went on once his duties in front of the camera were complete. After giving what turned out to be some bad notes to an editor, Grace, 35, realised that he needed to enhance his film education, pronto.

The HPA Tech Retreat is an annual gathering in the desert east of Los Angeles (in a posh resort, mind you; it’s not like we’re out sitting in the hot sun among the Joshua trees) where film and TV industry folks discuss all manner of technical and business issues.

I am learning the cost of success is my attention. As I’m spending time working on building my new business, I wonder how I would I do this if I were married with children. I remember a TED talk of a lady encouraging career women not to pull back when they start thinking of having a family. For me, I only started to build a career because I was an awkward shy girl who didn’t have a boy to marry. At 19, I figured working and making money would keep me busy until I met the right guy. My outloo...

Honestly, I get a lot of my jobs through people I’ve previously worked with (i.e. AEs, post supes, story producers, etc.) or a contact through my friends. It’s almost always a “You’re looking for a gig, right? I know so-and-so and s/he is looking for an AE”.

“Dallas Buyers Club” and “American Hustle” feature distinct stories, but share approaches to the use of both drama and comedy to tell them. The trick, their editors say, is rooting them in reality, while exercising restraint.
