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

I was in the middle of getting a cut ready for a client and realized I had not implemented the last feedback she had given me. Oops.

Apple has reportedly laid off 40 of its Final Cut employees, as earlier reported by AE Portal News. The cuts were apparently focused on remote teams based in the Los Angeles and Austin areas. Final Cut Studio is Apple’s flagship product for professional moving image editing and more. Naturally it also fields technologies marshaled within Apple’s Photoshop-killer, Aperture **.

In digital editing, everything is a transition. The cut, the dissolve, the wipe, they are all transitions. A sequence could be a transition. A pan is a transition. A person walking across the screen could be a transition. Anything that advances your story, takes the viewer to another location, time, or space is a transition.

Recently I had the opportunity to sit down with director Norman Buckley along with editors Tim Good and Harry Jierjian to discuss their roles on the CW prime time drama 'Gossip Girl'. During the course of our interview, they offer up a lot of great insight and a lot of great advice.

So you have a bunch of subtitles or lower thirds to do. They all look the same, except for the contents. You’re not seriously considering doing them all by hand in Title Tool, are you?

I'm working on a new feature documentary about a Tibetan refugee born in exile, turned activist and heavy metal musician. The title is catchy, Journey of a Dream, and so far the editing, a journey of its own, has also been a dream.
