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

Editor of Argo and Zero Dark Thirty on Suspense

In a continuing conversation with the Oscar season’s best-editing nominees, I recently had the privilege of talking with William Goldenberg, who is actually twice nominated—for Ben Affleck’s Argo and Kathryn Bigelow’s Zero Dark Thirty. (He shares the latter nomination with Dylan Tichenor.) Goldenberg was previously nominated for Seabiscuit and The Insider. Highlights from our conversation...

Fernando Franco talks about Blancanieves

February 16, 2013, 04:09 PM

http://editorunderconstruction.blogspot.com/2013/0...

Blancanieves –a Spanish, black and white, silent film– is an original version of the Grimm Brothers fairy tale ‘Snow White’. The film crew has managed to push through the idea of Pablo Berger, director, and screenwriter with a laudable result. Aesthetically, this film redeems black and white cinema, to a certain extent, but that is only a part.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt on Editing Porn and Directing

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.

For Your Consideration - Judging the Invisible Art

January 22, 2013, 02:34 PM

Of all the collaborative filmmaking crafts, editing is perhaps the hardest creative art to judge, yet among the most critical in terms of shaping the story. Although during the course of the production the editor usually puts the initial edit together, sometimes with little input from the director, once production is complete the polishing of the film is normally done in close partnership with the director, blurring the line between the editor's contribution and the director's vision.

John Dies at the End Don Coscarelli On Re-Editing

January 21, 2013, 02:23 PM

http://thefilmstage.com/features/interview-john-di...

There’s no getting around the fact that Don Coscarelli makes some odd films. After his latest project, John Dies at the End, toured the festival circuit for nearly a year, it is finally getting a release on VOD and will hit theaters in limited release later this month. When I caught up with the director at SXSW in March of last year, it was the morning after a hectic day where he had just screened his new cut of John Dies at the End at midnight.
