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

Predicting the winner of the Oscar for Best Sound Editing is made particularly difficult by the presence of a second sound award for best mixing. While both honor aural aspects of movies, they are for two distinct achievements. Sound editing refers to the blending of all of the distinct elements — dialogue, ADR, foley and sound effects — into one track. Conversely, sound mixing refers to the adjustments of the levels of each of these elements as well as the score so that certain sounds stand...

This is an article I wrote in the mid 1990’s. It’s a plea for sound to be taken as seriously as visuals in film storytelling. Most directors say they care deeply about sound, but almost none of them spend even 10% as much time working on sound as they spend working on the visual aspect of their films.

hen it comes to tracking physical objects in virtual spaces, pretty much every company is relying on light in some form. Oculus and HTC have their light mapping sensors, while Sony's PlayStation VR relies on infrared for its motion tracking camera. Hauoli, a young Austin-based startup demoing at SXSW, has something different in mind. It's developed a way to track virtual objects with sound. It's entirely software based and works with just about any speaker, so it also removes the need for expens...
