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

If anybody was laboring under the illusion that the big internet service providers are benign giants who want us all to share in the democratic bounties of the net, a small article in yesterday’s NY Times should serve as a cautionary reminder that we ain’t living in Mayberry.

I have to admit that I’m a bit embarrassed that we’re nearing the end of January 2011 and I’m just posting this summary of all the Useful Tools for Editors (and other post-production disciplines as well) that we talked about throughout 2010. But better late than never, so here goes:
Thoughts on Documentary Editing: Part One

https://www.aotg.com/thoughts-on-documentary-editing-part-one/
Part one of the lect. I often give these lectures, and thought that I might share one of them here with you. The program is broken down into two parts, and each section runs about 30 minutes. The total is shorter than I usually speak, but there were time constraints on this presentation. My lectures usually tend to run 90 minutes and can go as long as 2 hours.
Thoughts on Documentary Editing: Part Two

Here it is as promised part two. I often give these lectures, and thought that I might share one of them here with you. The program is broken down into two parts, and each section runs about 30 minutes. The total is shorter than I usually speak, but there were time constraints on this presentation. My lectures usually tend to run 90 minutes and can go as long as 2 hours.

What $300 Buys These Days

One of those "I sure hope this is true" stories... The story goes that it was produced for the princely sum of $300. Now obviously, for that to be true everyone worked for free, and all the sets, cameras, and editing was tossed in gratis as well. But it looks really great, and kind of holds a funhouse mirror up to stories like "X-Men" and the like.

In this episode Terence and Philip, with Greg Huson from Secret HQ, look forward to what we can expect in 2011. You might want to pace yourself on this one as we’ve set a new record for show length.
