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

March 10, 2011, 08:59 AM

Normally I try to post a note up a week or so before a SuperMeet as a reminder to grab your tickets if you haven’t done so already. Plus it might help you decide to attend if you haven’t decided already. We’re still over a month away from the 10th Annual Las Vegas NAB SuperMeet (which is also the 10 anniversary of FCPUG SuperMeets) but the grand prize that was very recently announced was so good I wanted to spread the word.

Final Cut Studio 3: Further Confirmation

Back in September, I experienced every bloggers dream. I literally walked into one of Apple’s retail stores, and struck up a conversation with the man next to me about Apple. We chatted about Apple as a company, Steve Jobs, and other random tidbits. Then, I brought up my frustration with Apple’s lack of attention to Final Cut Studio. It turned out that he actually worked for Apple... and was one of the guys in charge of the Final Cut Studio division.

What a Film Editor Does: Set the Record Straight

March 9, 2011, 07:10 PM

http://hollywoodreinvented.com/2011/03/film-editor...

From the earliest days of making movies there has been misunderstanding and confusion about what exactly an editor does in the creation of a movie, television program or today, the multitude of other types of "dynamic media" that are emerging both scripted and unscripted. This is understandable because along with the cinematographer, the art...
