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

Crockett Doob started editing Beasts of the Southern Wild from a house on the Bayou three miles from the production's headquarters. Born in Brooklyn, he grew up making movies with director Behn Zeitlin from the time that they were six.

Few films have the potential to be as politically charged as Zero Dark Thirty. Director Kathryn Bigelow (The Hurt Locker, K-19: The Widowmaker) and producer/writer Mark Boal (The Hurt Locker, In the Valley of Elah) have evaded those minefields by focusing on the relentless CIA detective work that led to the finding and killing of Osama bin Laden by U.S. Navy SEALs. Zero Dark Thirty is more of a suspenseful thriller than an action-adventure movie. It seeks to tell a raw, powerful story...

The Academy is already submitting nominations for the 2013 Oscars, both by mail and, for the first time, online. As such, there were still a few categories I have yet to begin predicting, and it's time to start opening those doors.

I've worked as an editor of reality TV shows for about eight years — I've worked for 30 to 35 different reality series, and probably edited 300 to 400 individual episodes. Most people understand by this point that reality shows are entertainment, but there's a trust element there — when it's called reality, viewers want to believe. As editors we walk the line, though, and in some shows we kind of jump over it.

Director Kathryn Bigelow's Zero Dark Thirty has been described by its writer/producer Mark Boal as "living history." An ongoing story peopled with characters based on actual CIA agents whose identities have been changed, the film traces the manhunt for Osama Bin Laden.

Fred Raskin says he stepped into "enormous shoes" when he took the job to edit Django Unchained for director Quentin Tarantino. This was the director's first film since the premature passing of his long-time collaborator, editor Sally Menke.
