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

Ang Lee editor, Tim Squyres

Tim started his working relationship with Ang Lee nearly 28 years ago when Tim was hired because they couldn't afford a real editor. As Tim described it, he "learned to edit by editing Ang Lee features". Asked how he and Ang work together, Tim emphasized it's the directors’ movie, not his. During first assembly, Tim will often cut while Ang is shooting, sending him cuts for feedback.

Video Editing and the Music

http://blogs.nppa.org/editfoundry/2012/11/08/video...

I love using music.  In the 15 years I've been editing I used music whenever I could.  I have used it improperly.  I have abused using music.  I have used the wrong type of music.  I have forced music into a edit just because.  You should be doing this too.  You read that right.  Force...
