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

As a filmmaker, I always want to challenge myself both creatively and technically. I pursue projects that can stimulate me on several levels.

Mark Wilkins on ‘The Exorcist’ Series

Colorist Mark Wilkins has a message for audiences: Think twice before believing everything you see on TV. A veteran colorist whose credits include Ugly Betty (2010-2016) CSI: Miami (2002-2012) and numerous television commercials, he cautions that colorists can brighten cloudy days and dial down the color of a red dress. Using digital technology, colorists both fine-tune and sometimes transform the palette of a project.

Those of you paying attention will recall that at the end of last week’s lesson we were totally screwed. Being photographers, we had used our Canon DSLRs to shoot heart-breakingly gorgeous video. Video that was virtually useless because (among other things) of the proximity of a honkin’ giant fan blowing all that hair around most fetchingly while creating the most grating and ruinous racket you’ve ever heard.

With Apple’s announcement of MacOS High Sierra came the End of Life for Final Cut Pro 7, forcing many savvy editors to recalculate their route to a new professional NLE platform. Blackmagic Design jumped at the opportunity to release a video demonstrating the very soft landing when transitioning from FCP 7 to the new DaVinci Resolve 14.
