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

For Your Consideration - Judging the Invisible Art

January 22, 2013, 02:34 PM

http://www.btlnews.com/awards/for-your-considerati...

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.

Video Editors Choose Dell for Performance...

Over the last two years, I’ve worked on numerous heavy, professional-grade video editing projects like live streaming Lollapalooza, ACL Fest and JazzFest music festivals. A project like a music festival is a tremendously demanding beast as the timelines are extremely tight, as little as a few hours, but the quality of the final product must still be as high as a full blown production. This is why having a fast, high quality production cycle is critical to success and why video editors demand.....

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.

No serious Academy Awards pundit can ignore the Best Editing rule and expect to make the cut for predicting the eventual Best Picture winner.

'Homeland' (Editorial) Security

January 18, 2013, 01:11 PM

https://www.editorsguild.com/magazine.cfm?ArticleI...

The Emmy Award-winning political thriller from Fox 21, Homeland (Sunday nights on Showtime) has become so popular and engrossing that even President Barack Obama was hooked. In fact, during his November Asia trip, the President requested an episode on DVD in advance of its airing so he could keep up with the escalating tension between Claire Danes’ Carrie Mathison and Damian Lewis’ Nicholas Brody. She’s a CIA intelligence officer trying to uncover an al-Qaeda plot, and he’s a former Mari...

Heroines of Cinema

January 13, 2013, 08:00 PM

Unlike the frequent depressing statistics on female directors or cinematographers, editing is one creative role in cinema where women have traditionally held their own. From “E.T.” to “Lawrence of Arabia”, numerous big budget, studio films have been cut by women, with legends in the field including Thelma Schoonmaker, seven-time Oscar-nominated editor of Martin Scorsese’s films, and Sally Menke, editor of all Quentin Tarantino’s films and described by him as his “only truly genuine...

Editing with the New iMacs

January 13, 2013, 07:52 PM

http://www.larryjordan.biz/app_bin/wordpress/archi...

Last November, the day they went on sale, I ordered a 27″ iMac to replace my main editing system. (Click here to read about the system I ordered.) It arrived the end of December and, as these things tend to work out, as soon as I unpacked it, I needed to give it to our talented production assistant to do some web database work for the last two weeks.

Overthinking Ghostbusters - Editing It's Technical

January 12, 2013, 02:07 PM

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.
