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

I just spent time reorganising my iTunes library and in particular my soundtrack collection, which now thanks to my hacked 240gb iPod, I can carry around with me everywhere (who would have thought 160gb would be too small?)

Surround Sound Goes Wireless

January 10, 2014, 12:57 PM

http://sportsvideo.org/main/blog/2014/01/surround-...

Virtually all major-league sports on television are now broadcast in native 5.1 surround sound. However, the vast majority of viewers continue to consume these shows in stereo, at best. The gulf between these two extremes can be partly explained by the relative complexity involved in setting up multiple speakers in a surround array accurately in the home and by the esthetic noise caused by wires that have to reach the rear of the room. That’s a discrepancy that WiSA — the Wireless Speaker an...

Will 'Gravity' fall victim to curse of Best Britis

"Gravity" reaped a leading 11 BAFTA bids on Wednesday, including one for Best British Film. It qualified for this prize because it can boast of a British producer (David Heyman), a slew of British talent working below-the-line, and a shooting schedule that brought it to both Pinewood and Shepperton studios.

Adding Handle to Sound Bites

http://provideocoalition.com/cmg_keyframes/story/a...

Whether you’re working on documentaries, reality television, corporate videos, or any of a number of situations where you have talent being interviewed on-camera, you’ve probably run into this scenario: The talent is giving a long speech, perhaps unrehearsed. In the middle of that speech is a really good sound bite you’d like to pull out and use in isolation. However, the talent didn’t pause enough frames before and/or after that sound bite to cleanly edit it into your program - and ...

The current buzz in the television industry is all about the promise of 4K, yet most of the talk is centered on video quality, with very little being said about the audio that supports the image.

Are Clueless Labels Ruining SoundCloud?

January 2, 2014, 11:04 AM

http://www.hypebot.com/hypebot/2014/01/are-clueles...

SoundCloud’s content ID, implemented due to pressure from record labels, incorrectly flagged one of my uploads as infringing material. As a paying customer and huge fan of SoundCloud I am fearful clueless labels may be senselessly setting a precedent that will destroy the web’s best music platform and community for independent artists. Not to mention cost labels profits, fans and perhaps create a backlash against record labels altogether – who as overly litigious middlemen could be irrelev...
