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

Actress America Ferrera represented the pioneering Latino-centered web series Gente-fied, for which she served as executive producer. Music, comedians and Sundance Film Festival-approved features like Bitch, Lemon, Dina and L.A. Times completed a four-day program that kept things, candid, casual and unconventional.

One of the first still camera "tricks" you learn as a photographer is how to create light trails using long exposures. All you do is crank up your shutter speed to five or six seconds (or whatever works), adjust your aperture accordingly, and boom, you've got some nice light trails streaking all along some random freeway. But can you achieve the same effect with video? Totally, but you'll need to head into post to do it.

“Buthiyulla manitharellam vetri kanbathillai… Vetri petra manitherallam buthisaaliyillai…” (All those who are intelligent are not successful, All those who succeed need not be intelligent) B. Lenin, renowned film editor and director, sings a popular old Tamil number. “I like music. I stayed away from school because I hated mathematics. I went for music classes only to realise that even music has mathematical notations. It was an eye opener for me,” he laughs.

Pre-organizing your media is one of those small steps that makes your post workflow significantly less painful. As we covered back in March, Kyno is a tool built from the ground up with its only goal in mind being making that media organization process as easy as possible. With the new release of version 1.3, Kyno has expanded its keyboard shortcut tools and deepened its Premiere functionality to make it the go to organizational tool for Premiere filmmakers.

By now, I’m going to assume that you’re well-versed in the email etiquette basics. You know, things like always including a subject line and resisting the temptation to CC every single warm body in your office. I’m going to give you the benefit of the doubt here. Still, it’s likely your messages aren’t completely flawless.

I like to take advantage of short cut keys when I'm editing. It helps me to work faster and more efficiently. As I'm editing, I'm constantly jumping back and forth between edit points on my sequence. I would much rather use a keyboard shortcut for this, rather than using my mouse to place my playhead on a certain point in the timeline.

Whether you’ve been writing for decades or you’ve only just completed your first pilot, you will never outgrow the need to take meetings. If you are working within the conventional system, meetings are an essential part of the equation when it comes to delivering your story from the page to the screen—and the better you can perform in the room, the more likely you are to see those stories come to life for the world at large.
