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

When it comes to a bawdy, R-rated animated film, don’t count it out of Oscar season. As a refresher: 1999’s South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut was nominated in the best song category for “Blame Canada”, which wound up being an unforgettable musical number during the awards telecast with Robin Williams.

Using LUFS for Mixing

You might have noticed that in the last few years, the differences in level between television shows, commercials, and channels are pretty even, with no big jumps in volume. That’s because viewers were complaining for years about the fact that there was a dramatic increase in level whenever a commercial aired because it was so compressed compared to the program that you were watching. Congress set out to do something about this, and in 2012 adopted a method to normalize those volume jumps that...

Tis the season! Not for turkey and stuffing, as you may be thinking. No, it’s that exhilarating time of year commonly referred to as “Award Season.” Some folks dust off their fancy dress shoes, while others pull their clipboards out of mothballs, and prepare for the wild ride of submissions, judging and voting! Such is the exhilarating rush that goes along with menu planning, seating charts and presenter corralling.

The Future of TV

Times are changing, man… They have been for a while, in fact. We are living what seems like a fairly definitive transition from traditional television services to the online On Demand model with services like Netflix, that are themselves producing content with very high production standards.
