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

Jesse Borkowski has put together an excellent 4 part tutorial series that walks you through how he created a look for a music video. An excellent node by node breakdown for any beginner colorist.

“I love commercials,” says Sue Moles towards the end of her Desert Island Clips interview. “I do, I just love them.” She’s explaining why she feels embarrassed that she’s not more knowledgeable about feature films. It isn’t because she doesn’t love movies... she does. It’s just that she loves commercials more.

On Their Way is an occasional series in which The Times introduces people who grew up on Martha's Vineyard and have moved on to establish themselves in careers on or off Island. We are looking for young people who have distinguished themselves by their accomplishments in the arts, business, in social services, in the military, in academics, in fact in any meaningful way. We welcome your suggestions.

I got into movies by a series of wonderful accidents of fate. Having been raised overseas, I wanted to become a diplomat. But the State Department thought I was too “liberal” to be happy with that job.

I never intended to edit my own films. My “day job” is editing PSAs and corporate videos, so when it came time to direct my first feature, Easier with Practice, I realized I didn’t really know any editors—nor did I have the money to hire one. So I decided to edit it myself. Having no desire to be a multi-hyphenate, I edited it under a pseudonym: Fernando Collins.

Star Wars is no stranger to the spectre of a phantom editor – most will know the tale of how Star Wars: A New Hope was “saved in editing,” not by George Lucas, but by John Jympson. This version of Star Wars (dubbed the “Lost Cut”) was a complete disaster: according to an article in Star Wars Insider #41 by David West Reynolds, it contains about 30-40% different footage from the final version, and to this day the Lost Cut has been seen by very few eyes. Within it, there are scenes that ...

A rainy, windblown night this past February didn't stop a mix of editors, students, and assorted wannabes from packing the auditorium of Manhattan's French Institute. The evening was the first 2013 presentation of Bobbie O'Steen's “Inside the Cutting Room” interview series with special guest Andrew Weisblum, A.C.E. Manhattan Edit Workshop's president Josh Apter took the stage to introduce the evening.

Now that DI has really taken off and the cost of owning a system has fallen sharply, the number of working colorists has grown just as dramatically. This boom in color grading may also have caused significant changes to the perception of images by the audience.
