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

I really found this piece inspirational. Not so much about the AVID stuff, but the fact that JJ Abrams has built a facility where he can do EVERYTHING (or so they say) under one roof. That way he doesn’t have to travel all over town to oversee various parts of the post process.

In some ways, the job of film editors is to make their work invisible. They hope that audiences don’t notice the editing and see only that a clear path has been drawn to the heart of the film’s story.

I've been a professional editor since 2007, after clawing my way up through the ranks as an assistant editor, logger and, the lowest of the low, film student. You name it, I've cut it—short and feature films, documentaries, television series, music videos, commercials.

I love nothing more than a good gladiator battle. Well, maybe chocolate. In any case, have a watch: Leave your suggestions in the comment section below for general scene topics, as well as next time’s topic: Tarantino and Sally Menke team films!

Transcript and note emotional words too.(Good) detective example: let the story be told with the material that you have.Cut sound first than picture unless you edit something very visual.Let the sound tell the story.Rearrange your material.
