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

Stereo Width Tricks and Tips in Pro Tools Pt 6

Here is a different use for impulse response plug-ins. Take a mono source signal, buss it to two mono Aux tracks, panned hard left and right and grouped for convenience. Insert Trim and monophonic convolution reverb plug-in into both Aux tracks.

Stereo Width Tricks and Tips in Pro Tools

Another variation of using different EQ settings on the left & right channels is to convert the Left & right into MS and then you can EQ the Side (difference between left and right) differently to the M (left and right added together) then decode the MS back to left and right. This is a trick mastering engineers use to EQ the stereo part of the signal but leave the mono components alone.

Many of Christopher Nolan's films deal with fantastical elements, but he likes to ground things in reality as much as possible, both on-screen and on-set. In the video below, he talks about how he keeps things as real as possible for the actors and the audience:

Stereo width Tricks in Pro Tools Pt. 3

One of the ways of making an existing stereo signal appear wider and even appear to be coming from outside the stereo speakers is to take a little of the left channel, reverse the phase and mix it into the right channel and vice versa. To do this in Pro Tools you can do it two ways. Either way duplicate your track so you have two identical tracks, now either insert a Trim plug-in on the duplicate track and press the phase reverse button

Professional video editors and filmmakers have raved about G-Technology’s hard drives for over a decade. These users — day-one adopters of Apple’s Mac Pro and MacBook Pro computers — need a lot of hard disk space, fast interfaces, and above all else, reliability.

It seems like just yesterday when we were all wondering, and speculating on how cool Bitwig was going to be, and all of the new things that it was going to bring to the table. Now, we’re coming up on to the very first major update for the freshman DAW, and with it we’ve received an update that not only fixes some issues, but also brings even more new features. But, is it enough?

Director Tim Burton's Big Eyes paints a quirky picture of the true life relationship between artist Margaret Keane (Amy Adams), whose distinctive portraits of big-eyed children were painted in secret, and her charming, wannabe-artist husband (Christoph Waltz) who took credit for her creations and usurped the phenomenal success that should have been hers.
