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

The Cutting Room

The Cutting Room is a show about interviewing other Film Editors, similar to Inside the Actors Studio except for editing. Each show we interview a different editor to find out techniques, ideas and approaches to film editing and what advice they have for other Editors or those looking to become an editor.

Remember, you might have to work with the person again and they might read this, so names should be used sparingly. (unless it's really juicy!)

Hand Cut Films

I focus my profession as an editor, because post-production is my favorite part of the filmmaking process. This is a natural fit, because I am able to sit for long periods of time without food, sunlight or oxygen.

On any career path there’s getting started, and then there’s getting started right. Imagine you’re a young film editor named Michael R. Miller, you’re looking to get a foothold in feature films, and like anyone just starting out in his chosen field you’re probably willing to take almost any job for the experience and the typeface on your CV. But you are Michael R. Miller, and one of your first jobs isn’t greasing the gears...

Poker Night At the Post Group

I had the great pleasure of being invited to The Post Group Poker Night Party last week. I was greeted by Dan Kliman, who gave me a hearty welcome to start off the night. While I’m a player, I’m not that kind of a player, so I decided to go on a tour of their beautiful facility.
