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 the release of Waves Tracks Live many people have downloaded the software and thus far the reception has been overwhelmingly positive. I’d already looked at the features and made a quick test recording but how does it perform in its intended role - live multitrack capture? I tried it this week and I have to say its very, very good.

Did Apple invent USB Type-C? Maybe a little bit

March 14, 2015, 09:21 AM

http://9to5mac.com/2015/03/14/apple-invent-usb-typ...

Yesterday on his Talk Show podcast, Daring Fireball’s John Gruber suggested that his Apple sources told him that Apple invented USB Type-C. Known for often insightful but always ‘not negative‘ Apple commentary, Gruber sometimes peppers his stories with info he’s gained from inside Apple which he calls “little birdies” (that haven’t been 100% recently, but used to be spot on).

The Rise and Fall of the Wilhelm Sream

March 13, 2015, 07:17 AM

http://priceonomics.com/the-wilhelm-scream-cinemas...

Chances are, you’ve heard the Wilhelm Scream -- but you probably haven't heard of it. Since being recorded in the 1950s, the sound effect -- an overly-dramatic, desperate yelp -- has become a staple in some of Hollywood biggest films. It is the choice cry of Stormtroopers falling to their death in Star Wars; it is emitted by Buzz Lightyear as he is sent careening out of a window in Toy Story; it is cried out as Jafar lifts the palace in Aladdin, and uttered by a man who’s being crushed by a ...

The idea of a possible sequel to Disney’s Big Hero 6 still continues to make rounds, despite directors Don Hall and Chris Williams having shied away from the prospect multiple times. Said prospect has now been brought up again, this time with word from one of the actors themselves.
