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

Where I've Been

These days, Twitter updates are often easier and quicker to do than a fully formed blog post idea. And on the blogging front, I have been invited to write for ProVideo Coalition, which is a real honor. I am excited to join that group of writers. I'll be writing original content for PVC (as well as posting the "greatest hits" of PSP up there for good measure), and I'll continue to write here. There are some things you just can't say when you have sponsors.

Is there a simple way to add FX to your source footage and then use the source panel to select in and out point and add the affected footage to your timeline rather than adding the footage and having to apply the FX after the fact? Answer: Yes! This Premiere Pro quick tip video tutorial could save you a lot of time.

Cutting Remarks: Julie Monroe, Joe Hutshing

Julie Monroe has assisted on many Stone films, beginning with Salvador, and was an associate editor on JFK. After also working for Adrian Lyne (Lolita) and Irwin Winkler (De-Lovely, Life as a House), Julie returned to edit the last two Stone films, World Trade Center and W.—films which reflect a clear transition in Stone’s style from the frenetic, tough edge of JFK and Natural Born Killers, to a more traditional narrative approach. A twenty-year veteran with Stone and other directors, Joe...

The other day I had a couple of memory flashes: 1) Seeing a phalanx of abandoned CMX 6000s in the storage room of a post facility, all at attention, as if they were waiting for Wall-e to salvage them.2) Walking past a line of heaped up Moviolas and parts pushed up against a wall in the hallway of a former lab, looking like a wayside Guernica memorial.
