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

Art of the Title: Run Lola Run (1998)

February 5, 2013, 03:08 PM

Tick, tick, tick. The opening sequence of Tom Tykwer's Run Lola Run is an experiment in choice, in allowing editing and style to speak: gritty, brisk, and bold. It plays out in four acts: horror, thriller, cartoon, and crime.First, we encounter time itself. A grimacing pendulum that sweeps credits into and out of sight - relentless, staring - until, mercifully, we are swallowed up and transported into a crowd. Wandering, faceless, lost among our questions and lead by the narrator...

Every friday we post a few interesting videos to enjoy for the weekend. This friday, I am pleased to share some incredible footage. For those that don’t know, Sally Menke was Quentin Tarantino’s editor since Reservoir Dogs. Tragically, she died in 2010 and without any in-depth interviews or insight into her working process...

Craig McKay is one of the editors of the film, along with Reynald Bertrand, built, in his words, in the editing room. This entry is the appetizer for the following translation I am preparing What do you have to do? That is an interview with an editor of a documentary without dialogue. Enough said. Well, come on, say that the documentary is the host, which is the last I've seen and that the interview is a real source of knowledge. For now, I leave you with babies, it's very funny...
