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

8k TV: NHK Debuts Super Hi Vision NABShow 2014 by Stu Brown, April 11, 2014 It is easy to dismiss 8k TV as an unattainable goal to reach, but if that attitude prevailed, historically speaking, we would have never had the “horseless carriage.” Philo Farnsworth, the man credited with the invention of television, would be astounded at the incredible quality of the picture that 8k TV delivers. I was astounded as well. Though I arrived too late to witness the […] The post 8k TV: NHK Debuts...

When I first saw the new Mac Pro announced it reminded me of one thing. The Cube. The Cube was a “revolutionary machine,” putting a lot of power into a small, and very quiet space on your desktop. It was a flop however because it just wasn’t very practical. It was overpriced for what you […]

Without a doubt, the big buzzword at NAB 2014 was, once again, 4K. While 4K (4096×2160 or higher) has been available to feature filmmakers and commercial productions for years, the broadcast industry has been relatively unaffected due to the lack of … more »
