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

I had the chance to play with the new Micro colour grading panel from Blackmagic Design for two weeks. Here's what I thought of it. In 4000 words

Ever wonder what it’s like to be an assistant editor on huge movies like Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and Kingsman: The Golden Circle?

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...

iPads have made a lot of people's lives easier—and not just by giving them a larger screen on which to watch movies and play Candy Crush. There are plenty of apps out there that help filmmakers complete their work faster and with greater control, and if you don't know what these apps are, then today is your lucky day. The team over at Film Riot have named a couple that can not only help you more quickly accomplish certain tedious tasks in post, like masking, but also help you gain more control...

Oftentimes, fixing white balance in post could be a serious struggle but since it’s an essential step of the overall color grading process, you simply don’t have any other option than figuring it out in one way or another. The good news is that there are multiple ways you can approach this task, especially if you’ve already picked out DaVinci Resolve 12.5 as your primary color grading application.

I’ve got to travel around to a few conferences and events recently and what I’ve found is, there’s nothing quite like hearing and learning directly from artists in visual effects and design – in person.

Recently, I’ve been covering topics that could be described as ‘inside baseball’, eg they are very technical or mainly for people deep within the film industry. I don’t intend to stop doing this, but I also want to address questions I get from film fans and people who are just curious about how the industry works.

We’ve published a lot of helpful color grading articles over the past years, and it’s easy to lose track of helpful resources when you need them most. Here you’ll find the links to go back and refresh your knowledge, or get a fantastic introduction if you’re new to color grading. Below you’ll also find a video breaking down a shot, and introducing basic concepts and grading strategy that are explained in more detail in some of the articles.
