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

Comedy Cutting Pt. 1 - Cutting Remarks

March 2, 2010, 11:34 AM

Watching an editor cut - even if you’re hellbent on becoming one yourself - is excruciating, like watching paint dry. A veteran comedy editor changed that all for me. In 1985 I was hired to assist Dann Cahn on Ediflex, a new non-linear VHS-based editing.

Here is the performance and story edit of NINA. There is no color correction and still some temp camera audio, and obviously, no sound design or mixing. That phase is next.

Final Cutters Site

If you were looking for a single web destination that is a clearing house for all things Final Cut Pro then FinalCutters has to be that destination. It’s attempting to do what seems like the near impossible and pull together news, blog posts, photos, Twitter tweets, user reviews and ratings and build a community right there at the site.

Here’s a great piece of editor porn that popped up on Twitter from Alan Dennison. Watch only if you’re an editor. (And of age) Otherwise you probably won’t care.

The Hollywood Cut

February 28, 2010, 11:27 AM

http://www.indianexpress.com/news/Hollywood-Cut/58...

Oscar-winning film editor Hughes Winborne on giving Teen Patti an international look In Los Angeles, when Hughes Winborne, Oscar-winning film editor for Crash, got an offer for Teen Patti, all he knew of Bollywood was that "it makes more films than Hollywood in a year". "That, combined with the chance to visit India for the first time, made me accept the project," he says, over e-mail from the US...

Using Text, Titles and Graphics

Both Avid and Final Cut have fine basic text generators that allow you to do some pretty cool and simple text work. I’m not talking about the Marquee tool in Avid or LiveType in Final Cut. I’m just talking about the basic text tool that comes with the programs. I think it’s important to learn these tools first.

Pulled Wools and Gotcha Moments in Shutter Island

Although obviously reminiscent of the films of Alfred Hitchcock, the film that Martin Scorsese's latest, "Shutter Island", reminds me most of is Stanley Kubrick's "The Shining" due to my post-screening reaction to the film. It is not a secret that I consider both directors to be two of my cinematic heroes.

Last night I enjoyed being on an Oscar panel at the Writer’s Store (a terrific store with wonderful film folks) in LA with three other writers of film books: Chris Riley The Hollywood Standard - 2nd edition, Marcie Begleiter From Word to Image 2nd edition, and Michael Hauge Selling Your Story in 60 Seconds, and moderator-writer Chris Vogler The Writer’s Journey 3rd edition.
