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

Can the PNYA Build an Empire that Rivals L.A.?

Beth Marchant has a good article over at StudioDaily on the development of the New York State 30-percent (35-perecent upstate) tax credit that’s now in place for productions doing their post work in New York. This tax credit is a unique add-on compared to California and other states. But is it working? Marchant says yes, pointing out how new facilities, such as Mr. X Inc. decided to open offices here “weeks after the higher post credit went into effect.”

On Sunday, Tim Squyres ’81 will walk down the world’s hottest strip of red fabric, maybe bumping into Anne Hathaway or Bradley Cooper as he makes his way into Dolby Theatre for the 85th Academy Awards. One of the five nominees for Best Film Editing, Squyres shaped Life of Pi into the film that has captured hearts, minds and half a billion dollars in box office worldwide, but he isn’t losing any sleep over the attention. Before Sunday’s ceremony and his March 10 visit to present Life of P...

Of all the tech categories at the Oscars, Best Editing is the one most closely tied to Best Picture. In the 77 years that the award has been handed out, 33 have gone to Best Picture winners, most recently "The Hurt Locker" (Chris Innis, Bob Murawski) in 2009.

2013 Oscar Prediction: Best Film Editing

February 20, 2013, 06:21 PM

Just yesterday, word spread about a new iPad app that will offer professionals and hobbyists alike around 90% of the tools that an editor would use on a blockbuster movie. It’s an exciting technological development to be sure, but simply having access to a kitchen doesn’t make us all chefs. Francis Ford Coppola talked about editing in mythical terms, calling it the “essence of cinema” and the “alchemy” that brought everything together. In other words, editing is the magic of movie ma...

A (Silver Linings) Playbook For Collaboration...

David O. Russell has, as many will attest, his own way of shooting a movie. “He’s not hanging out in video village [like most directors do],” explains Jay Cassidy, Oscar-nominated editor (along with Crispin Struthers) of Silver Linings Playbook. The film has earned two Oscar nominations for Russell--for best director and best adapted screenplay--and nods for its four stars, Bradley Cooper, Jennifer Lawrence, Robert De Niro, and Jacki Weaver, as well as being nominated for best picture.
