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

It was "tricky" to edit Kahaani that was "hinging on one twist", but as an editor Namrata Rao pulled it off so well that the thriller has won her several awards. While enjoying the recognition, she admits talent behind the camera is "getting the deserved exposure" and that she is being "paid quite a decent amount" for her work.

PARK CITY, UT: Let’s get this right out in the open: Don Jon’s Addiction, the new comedy from Joseph Gordon-Levitt premiering at the Sundance Film Festival, is filthy. It concerns a womanizing New Jersey ladies’ man whose dependence on hardcore Internet porn is so intense that he actually prefers it to the real thing.

United States senators should stay out of the film-editing business. It's equally dangerous whether it comes from the right or the left, or whether the objective is to shield the public from grim reality or to spare a fiction in a Hollywood film from being perceived as truth. Hollywood is Hollywood, where "based on a true story" is a signal to all but the most gullible moviegoer that artistic license is at work.

Craig McKay is one of the editors of the film, along with Reynald Bertrand, built, in his words, in the editing room. This entry is the appetizer for the following translation I am preparing What do you have to do? That is an interview with an editor of a documentary without dialogue. Enough said. Well, come on, say that the documentary is the host, which is the last I've seen and that the interview is a real source of knowledge. For now, I leave you with babies, it's very funny...

Editing is a subjective art. One person's brilliance is another's contrivance. There are many ways to the same end, but the end is telling a story. Telling it clearly, concisely, smartly. Tony Scott directed some of the most interestingly told stories I've seen. Top Gun was an action movie that never confused who was where...
