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

What is exciting about this moment in time for media is that no one knows quite where it is going. New catchphrases like "Transmedia" litter the landscape as people and companies fumble around attempting to define exactly what it is that we are currently experiencing. It is quite like the early days of cinema, we...

As probably one of the oldest editing students in existence, (I'm a late bloomer. What can I say?) I am challenging myself to do and learn all I can in this field that has captured my heart and soul. For the past almost five years, I have been taking college filmmaking classes, starting with my first editing class on February 18, 2008.

I had stopped looking for it, but then there it was and there was no escape. I'm talking, of course, about my first freelance gig. I got the gig through a friend I had stayed in touch with after completing an internship. I'd been working in the corporate world full time for about a year when I got asked if I wanted to pick up this project on the side.

In today's digital age of ftp, Drop box, "the cloud", why isn’t there more of a lure and desire from clients to work with an editor remotely? The big studios do it all the time with 3D specialists based all over the world and even render to remote locations.

How do you advance your story with pacing you ask? The pace of a story, or a section of the story tells the viewer...
