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

While it’s been several years since the IEEE and SMPTE separately standardized a way of moving digital video signals from the SDI domain into the IP world using Ethernet switches over a local are network (LAN), the implementation process has taken a bit longer. Actually, about ten years.

Selling DAM Systems

One of our featured DAM Vendors, Picturepark, have recently re-vamped their website and added a number of information oriented articles. We have fairly robust editorial guidelines (as some might have noticed!) and covering website revamps would typically get filed under the ‘no chance’ classification. What they have done, however, is noteworthy for the information content and approach taken...

I know that a significant chunk of S&A's audience comprises of actors, actresses, directors, DPs, editors, etc, etc, etc. Some are able to earn a paycheck utilizing their artistic and/or technical skills; others - and I'd say the majority - are what we've labeled the proverbial *starving artists*, working diligently, relentlessly, struggling to climb this incredibly steep hill, trying to reach some pinnacle of success - whether personal or professional. And still others exist somewhere between t...

Working with an Editor

July 18, 2013, 10:33 AM

http://masteringfilm.com/working-with-an-editor/

An editor can be a creative magician, a technical consultant, and an effective arbiter of what works and what doesn’t. Each editor has her own strengths and styles of cutting. One editor has an ideal style for MTV, and another editor knowledgeably cuts documentaries for the BBC. An editor might specialize in sports or news, sitcoms, movies-of-the week, online content, commercials, music videos. And then there are those few editors who can cut almost anything.
