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

We’re a strange lot, we editors...especially the older vets. And guess what? We get as tired of hearing our own bitching about things as you younger cutters must be — you pups raised on desktops and digital. But we have a right and a reason for our cantankerousness: we’ve fought in the Big One...Analog Tape. And we lived to tell about it.

In his 19 years as a television picture editor, Ron Volk, A.C.E. has become a bit of an expert on Grammer—Kelsey Grammer, that is. Five years after completing the last of 129 episodes of Frazier, Volk has re-teamed with Grammer on Hank, a new sitcom from ABC that premieres on Wednesday, Sept. 30. Grammer stars as a Wall Street executive who loses his job and moves his family back to a small town with his in-laws. Volk is cutting all episodes of the series, along with assistant editor...

It’s always a little scary the first time I try something I’ve observed, but never flown solo on. But it is such a great feeling when I manage to do something on my own––and do it correctly.

Lock up your sons! Cougar Town, starring Courtney Cox, premieres September 23 on the ABC network. Inspired by executive producer Bill Lawrence’s wife Christa Miller, who’s older than he is, the series is about a mid-40s woman with, well, let’s say, "relationship issues." Lawrence also executive produces Scrubs, so both shows are shot and edited at Culver City Studios.
