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

Old Hollywood Style Editing Vs. Computer Editing

If an editor - standing in for the viewer - is a movie’s eyes, are those the eyes of someone suffering from Attention Deficit Disorder? Since 1981 and the birth of MTV, filmmakers have been complaining, arguing, and embracing the effect of MTV on cutting. This week I’ll look at the pros and cons. Feel free to chime in!

A Cue Sheet that Adds itself up!

Cue sheets are a fairly bread and butter part of an online editor's life. The last thing I do when I've completed an online job is to printout a copy of the show's cue sheet and place it in the box with the tape.

MPEG Interview with Scott Burnette

I’ve always been interested in understanding the technical side of post-production and the assistant editor job is becoming increasingly technical. It’s probably where I can make the biggest contributions on a project.

Washington Post, What Makes the Cut?

March 27, 2010, 12:38 PM

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/artic...

To Appreciate the Art of Film Editing, You Have to Start With a Frame of Reference. How do we know within the first 10 minutes of "Slumdog Millionaire" that it's going to be a fanciful, time-shifting, rag-to-riches fable about a plucky orphan boy set in the slums of Mumbai?

Wanted: The Underestimated "L" Cut

March 26, 2010, 12:37 PM

http://postfifthpictures.com/2010/03/wanted-the-un...

After getting a lot of hits on my post titles "I will judge you be your sequence," I decided to dip into more of my editing ideology. I’ve thought about what topic it should be for a while and came up with the "L" cut.

Bad Day at the Moviola

While I prefer to focus on the positive, I know from being on the planet a few decades that a lot can be learned in life and postproduction from the not-so-hot - the downright painful, and the tragic. So here’s a good example of bad editing.
