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

For Sue Federman, this was her second Emmy from the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences for cutting the same show, How I Met Your Mother.

Jeff Ford on editing as music

November 20, 2012, 08:18 AM

It has rhythm, like music. When you are editing, you are creating a musical flow that the audience will get into while they're watching the movie. There's a visual rhythm, there's an auditory rhythm, and those two interact and create something that's a combination. And the ability of music to move people is huge.

Director, Robert Zemekis has returned to live action with the contained, but powerful, character-based drama, Flight, a story about an alcohol and drug addicted pilot whose extraordinary flying skills save his passengers from almost certain death when his plane malfunctions and crashes. The success of the story hinges on the performance of Denzel Washington. The Oscar-winning actor does not disappoint with his complex and nuanced characterization. That performance formed the basis for the editin

The best way to collect, tag and edit the material and still remain objective and professional as editor is also a director, photographer and the subject of the film. The conversation of director David Ofek with film editor Alan Berliner in a conference docu minus 420, 2012.
