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

Mac vs PC? Meh. We've grown up

May 6, 2013, 11:17 AM

Designers and video editors used to ‘need’ Mac computers to get the job done. Now, they’re getting the job done equally well on both platforms. Macs have been the preferred tool of visual designers and video editors for decades. They’ve also been an outcast of PC-centric corporate networks. Over the years, an epic battle raged between network administrators and corporate creative groups over which machines were best for the company.

He’s the honcho of a department that edits hundreds of films each year for broadcast on TV and airlines, re-cutting films to address time constraints and Standards and Practices issues, all while preserving the asset as it travels through the many versions that are created in post-theatrical life.

From the Guild : DO WHAT THE FILM NEEDS

April 30, 2013, 05:42 PM

https://www.editorsguild.com/FromTheGuild.cfm?From...

Late April saw a full house at the French Institute in New York City, as the Manhattan Edit Workshop and author Bobbie O’ Steen hosted a conversation with Oscar, Emmy and Eddie Award-winning editor Stephen Rotter. With her “Inside the Cutting Room” seminars, O’Steen is known for guiding insightful discussions on the craft of editing, and this evening was no different. Rotter has cut 35 films in as many years, so there was a lot to draw from.
