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

With the release of the buzzy Dune trailer last week, director Denis Villeneuve paid subtle homage to one of the past failed adaptations of Frank Herbert’s seminal sci-fi tome. The trailer featured a choral cover of the Pink Floyd song “Eclipse,” from the English band’s 1973 album Dark Side of the Moon.

How were the superpowered siblings over at The Umbrella Academy going to top season 1’s armageddon-causing shenanigans? How about by dropping the whole family in Dallas, in the early 1960s, and setting their family squabbles in the context of the JFK assassination? The second season of Steve Blackman and Jeremy Slater’s Netflix’s show, based on the comic book series by Gerard Way, managed to deliver on the promise of season one by forcing the super sibs to face not only their own demons bu...

It’s quite a busy season for Adobe right now. Adobe Video World has been ongoing this week, it was recently announced that Adobe MAX 2020 is free and open to all, and today we get the September release of Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects. I don’t think these are huge releases but a few things of note.

It’s always tricky to find where to start when you’re beefing up your home system, so that you can tackle 4K projects in your work from home/remote setup. For me, as I’ve mentioned before, portability is important.

The artificial intelligence based colour grading system Colorlab Ai certainly looks like it could transform the grading process. Colorlab AI advisor and investor Steve Bayes explains why he became involved and how this technology should eventually become available to Final Cut Pro X users.

The Oscar-nominated composer Mark Isham has dealt with vampires, surfers, and vicious clouds of mist during his three decades of film scoring, but his newest challenge is probably his biggest: saving the world while balancing score and songs in Bill & Ted Face the Music.

Have you ever had this experience after a long shooting day: the image looks great, but it’s just hard to understand what people you filmed are saying? Well, most DSLRs, mirrorless cameras, and even mobile phones are making astonishing pictures these days, but often it seems like the manufacturers forgot the importance of good quality audio.
