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

Kaikai Kiki Co. and Blum & Poe have announced that world-renowned visual artist Takashi Murakami's debut film Jellyfish Eyes will tour nationwide, screening at cultural institutions in eight US cities. Jellyfish Eyes transforms the classic cinematic trope of the new kid on the block into a genre-defying adventure set in a post-Fukushima world.

The Pixar Perspective on Race

In the past, this column has focused primarily on looking at the positive side of Pixar’s shorts, features, and filmmakers, which hasn’t been terribly difficult; when compared with its competition, Pixar’s films are frequently far and away the best examples of mainstream animation of the modern age, no matter the format.

Rob Papen Concept Design For USB Controller

April 19, 2014, 02:26 PM

In the current design Rob says it will be 43cm (17inch) x 23cm (9inch) and the layout is based on what he believes is essential to have under your fingers when using synthesisers. As it is now, it is pretty well laid out. The only thing to consider is whether to have is a vector stick, instead of the X and Y control dials. One thing is for sure, it will not have endless rotary dials as he feels that only the waveform dial needs to be endless.

Pro Tools Fundamentals - Pro Tools Session Struct

April 19, 2014, 09:32 AM

http://www.pro-tools-expert.com/home-page/2014/4/1...

One of the most common mistakes I come across with new users of Pro Tools is confusion around the difference between the Pro Tools session file and the Pro Tools project folder. People who misunderstand the role of the Pro Tools session file (.ptx file) will at some point open a session and be presented with a missing files dialogue and ultimately a session with no audio present, just grey blocks showing where your audio would have been if it were available.

A TRIBUTE TO DEDE ALLEN

April 18, 2014, 08:56 AM

http://filmmakersdiary.blogspot.ca/2014/04/a-tribu...

A tribute to Dede Allen, editor of such groundbreaking films as THE HUSTLER, BONNIE AND CLYDE and THE ADDAMS FAMILY, was long overdue. So on Saturday, April 5, the Motion Picture Editors Guild inaugurated its Dede Allen Seminar Room. The space is a perfect memorial for the late dean of New York editing, because she loved teaching her craft to others and she loved the guild. Local 700 president Allen Heim (ALL THAT JAZZ, VALMONT, AMERICAN HISTORY X) used a good old-fashioned splicer to cut the â€...
