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

With an eye on avoiding the costly investment that goes with onsite hardware, more and more broadcasters are finding ways to slim down remote productions by using IP workflows that leave a large chunk of the production operation at the broadcast center. Sitting at the center of this “at-home–production” trend at NAB 2015 was Deluxe MediaCloud, an IP-based software platform that gives broadcasters an alternative to the hardware-centric broadcast infrastructure to offer a more agile, resilie...

What I Learned About Scores on My First Feature

Even though I've collaborated with composers on original scores for short films, the process of creating a score really remained a mystery to me as I ventured into my first feature film CENTS. Because I'm type-A (are there writer/directors who aren't type-A?), this musical mystery around composing scores made me anxious. So I was incredibly fortunate to have the opportunity to work with composer Kathryn Bostic as she created the score for CENTS.

Methods of SMR Data Management

SMR uses a mapping system for LBAs that want to get written randomly to only writing them sequentially. Similar to SSD’s Flash Translation Layer (FTL), SMR HDDs use what is sometimes called a SMR (or Shingle) Translation Layer (STL), which is a similar concept.

It’s safe to say that Avid’s acquisition of Orad prior to NAB 2015 enhanced the way sports-content creators view the provider of sports-related broadcast technologies company. But it also was part of an Avid Everywhere strategy that rounded into shape at the show.
