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

Earlier this month, we shared the online interactive screenplay for Shaun of the Dead, as well as a bunch of behind-the-scenes videos for the whole Cornetto Trilogy that Focus Features shared to gear  fans up for today's U.S. release of The World's End. The cult following for these films is growing, thanks to the satirical humor, witty banter, and surprisingly well-rounded characters.

Public Domain, Creative Commons and The Cosmonaut

We just wanted to elaborate a bit on the options you have choosing your movie to edit down for the 90to5 Editing Challenge: In addition to the PD, there is a relatively new license called CC – creative commons. Quite a few filmmakers nowadays publish their works under this license which does allow use of the material. One of those projects we want to mention is “The Cosmonaut”, an independant feature project whose makers share every single bit of footage.
