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

Quentin Tarantino talks about his editor, Sally Menke; plus, the closest thing to a Death Proof blooper reel we'll ever get.

Sally Menke, Found Dead

Director Quentin Tarantino's longtime film editor, who went hiking with her dog amid the extreme heat Monday, was discovered dead early Tuesday morning by searchers in Beachwood Canyon, according to law-enforcement sources. Award-winning film editor Sally Menke, 53, worked on such movies as "Pulp Fiction," "Kill Bill" and "Jackie Brown." Menke had gone hiking in the morning, and her friends alerted police after she failed to come home. Search dogs, an LAPD helicopter and officers from...

Bye Sally

Whilst editors are usually unseen (both on set and on screen) and therefore relatively unknown, Sally’s work with Quentin Tarantino evolved to become much more than that in both areas. On any given DVD it would usually be possible to find Tarantino gushing about the importance of collaboration in the edit room as a chance to rewrite the story one last time – and the nonlinear nature of many of his films gave the general public the chance to consider work beyond the shooting stages and sets.

An LA Editor's Story

Sally Menke, famed for editing all of Quentin Tarantino’s movies, died yesterday on a hike near the Hollywood sign, apparently due to the record breaking heat. Touchingly, the search team that discovered her body found that her dog stayed with her. As a hiker prone to heat exhaustion and ignoring it myself, I am paying heed to the nature of her death and hope you will too. And I wish to pay tribute to her.

Focus going RAW?

Interesting new developing technology from Adobe. It uses a layer of tiny plenoptic lenses in-between the sensor and the primary lens to capture the full range of focused picture information across the entire depth of the scene. You can then manage and re-focus the image in post software like Photoshop or Lightroom just like any other aspect of the Raw image. Sounds pretty incredible and slightly far fetched but who knows. Have a look.

Stunningly sad news today that Oscar-nominated editor Sally Menke, known for cutting all of Quentin Tarantino’s films, died sometime Monday while hiking in Los Angeles’s extreme heat. She had set out with a friend in Bronson Canyon; after an hour, her friend turned back, and when Menke didn’t return police were called. Her body was found at the bottom of a ravine with her dog at her side. The Los Angeles Times has the details.

Once again, Terence and Philip are joined by Howard Brock as they consider the limitations of Avid’s AMA. Plus a little gripe about the way companies present their news.

Improving the Look of Your Titles

Avid’s venerable Title Tool has come in for a lot of criticism over the years, but despite its limitations, it’s often the best way to get a simple titling job done, and it has many hidden features that many people don’t seem to know about. Here are a couple of my favorites
