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

Recently I had the opportunity to sit down with director Norman Buckley along with editors Tim Good and Harry Jierjian to discuss their roles on the CW prime time drama 'Gossip Girl'. During the course of our interview, they offer up a lot of great insight and a lot of great advice.

I'm working on a new feature documentary about a Tibetan refugee born in exile, turned activist and heavy metal musician. The title is catchy, Journey of a Dream, and so far the editing, a journey of its own, has also been a dream.

If you have your own edit suite then you might already have the aeron chair or a Wacom graphics tablet or a fancy eCinemas display. But what you might not have are some of these little kick-knacks that make the edit suite home. I’m sure there are others. Place some links in the comments below if you have your own favorites.

The Secret to a Great Video

February 12, 2010, 08:56 AM

http://blogs.nppa.org/editfoundry/2010/02/11/the-s...

I learned a long time ago that without great audio, all those great pictures are just Ok. Audio is an incredibly important part of the storytelling process. For the most part the movie theater experience visually has remained relatively unchanged. A projector put up the movie on the big screen.

After gaining Oscar attention for his work with director Alfonso Cuar??n on dystopian science-fiction drama Children of Men, Alex Rodr??guez worked on a couple of smaller projects before venturing into uncharted territory.
