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

If you put a group of software engineers in a room with a directive to develop an application, they will competently write millions of line of code that will trigger every feature, bell and whistle you ask them to. And that’s fine.

Scott Simmons attended the 2014 Editors Retreat and came back with a whole tool box full of new tools. The Gearheads session provided a nice list of useful tools for editors and filmmakers alike.

James Cameron called on his fellow filmmakers to be bolder in their use of format on day two of the international 3D Creative Summit in London. The “Avatar” director was the two-day event’s biggest draw taking part via an exclusive pre-recorded interview to talk about his upcoming 3D docu “Deepsea Challenge” and the current state of the format.

Walter Murch was deep in Tomorrowland when I called, and it seems to be a very comfortable place for the Academy Award-winning editor of Apocalypse Now, as well as the resurrection of Orson Welles’s Touch of Evil.

I decided at age 19 that I would be a Director of Photography. Having been raised by very cool and artistic parents, I was surrounded by art, film, music, advertising, theater, books and understood each as a possible career. However, it wasn’t until I took Amos Vogel’s film theory class at the University of Pennsylvania and dissected “Taxi Driver” to the minutest detail that I realized it was cinematography specifically that enchanted me.

When I set about putting together a list of some of the best tools for mixing electronic music I thought it would be easy… how wrong I was. There are so many cool products out there that being limited to ten entries started to become a very challenging prospect.

You’d think the man who’d just won the Oscar for co-editing Gravity – which won seven Oscars, six Baftas and seven Critics’ Choice Awards – would be entitled to sit back and bask in the glory for a bit.
