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

You only got 3 JOBS!!?! You Lazy

Sometimes I feel like I am right out of an In Living Color skit (funny skit show from the 1990s) where some Jamaican lady says "You only got three jobs? You so LAZY!" OK, I guess you had to be there...

Meet Editors, Talk Editing, Have Cocktails

One of the difficulties that many up and coming editors face in this age of DIY has to do with social connections. With the size of editing crews down to the bare minimum, it is hard for people to learn from other editors, and much harder to meet with people who might be able to help them improve their skills and job prospects.

Call in the Consultants

The world is full of experts and knowledge stuffed minds that can sometimes lead one astray on the path to completing video productions. Convoluted methods, agonisingly painful conversions, renders, encodes - and the production is still locked inside a program in a computer and not out in front of the eyes of the audience

The Right Tool For the Right Job & ROI

AppleInsider had an article on May 18, 2010 which was titled "Apple Scaling Final Cut Studio Apps to fit prosumers" which generated a ton of blogosphere panic. Even I was caught up in the rumor mongering here, reacting to a post I’d read on Twitter and then, after reading the AI piece, tweeting about it myself.
