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

Microphones Part 3 - Ribbon Mics

June 18, 2014, 01:55 PM

http://www.askaudiomag.com/articles/microphones-pa...

The design, uses, and advantages of ribbon microphones can be a challenging topic to understand. In fact, I’m regularly shocked to discover that many studios have NO ribbon microphones in their lockers! When I inquire as to why, I usually hear the old stereotypes of ‘too expensive’ and ‘too delicate.’ That’s really a shame, especially considering the wealth of fantastic sounding and affordable ribbon microphones on the market. In this article, I’ll discuss three of the most popular...

Chris Nolan: “I never meet anyone who actually l

Studios love 3D because they can charge more for it, but with the exception of a few who truly love it (James Cameron, Peter Jackson, Martin Scorsese of late), most filmmakers seem like they just sort of go along with it as a compromise. “Eh, sure, go ahead and convert it to 3D if you must, just leave me alone.” Chris Nolan, on the other hand, has earned the right (read: the money) to tell the studio to suck his jeans if he wants to. And that’s why The Dark Knight Rises, the most anticipat...

ARRI's New AMIRA Color Tool and custom looks

June 6, 2014, 03:49 AM

http://nofilmschool.com/2014/06/arri-amira-color-t...

When ARRI released information about their ENG-style, “documentary” camera, AMIRA, there were several reasons for filmmakers to get excited, like its lower price point and the promise of ALEXA-level image quality. Another great feature is the ability to import custom 3D LUTs, and now, ARRI has sweetened that deal by offering a free grading program called the AMIRA Color Tool, which lets users “create, extract, and organize” AMIRA Look files, and then export them for in-camera use.

We've Got Enough Stuff - Now Please Make It Work

If you missed a recent podcast then you may have missed one of the rants. There’s never been more choice, more compressors, more reverbs, more nostalgia, more gates, more synths, more pitch trickster, denoisers, apps, snaps, renoisers, blippers, tweakers, twonkers… you get the idea, I think the only person yet to release another DAW is my Mum.

This new Panasonic GH4 may very well become my favorite compact camera for video. When considering the GH4 vs Canon 5d mark III debate, even though the GH4 only sports a Micro Four Thirds sensor, the quality is still first class.
