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

7 Great Techniques for Hiding Lav Microphones

October 13, 2014, 04:24 PM

http://nofilmschool.com/2014/10/7-great-techniques...

This fantastic video from Izzy Hyman is great not just for filmmaking, but for any time you need to mic somebody up and the lav can't be in the shot. I'm not a huge fan of lavs, even less so when they have to be hidden, but if you shoot video, or you're getting into audio, at some point you're going to have to do some of these techniques. The triangle tape trick has been one of the most useful to me, and if you've never seen it or used it before, you should absolutely try it the next time you ne...

Scoring Miami Vice

If you were around in the mid eighties, you’ll remember the mania that surrounded Miami Vice. It was the hottest thing since sliced bread, and it seemed that everyone started dressing like Don Johnson overnight with the sport coats, lighter colors, and Ray Bans. (It’s hard to believe Vice is thirty years old this year.)

5 Tips for Making a Living in the Creative Sector

The biggest challenge for many people working in the creative sector is that they have never had any formal business training. One day they are programming a synth, the next day they are running a studio, or one day they are doing the sound for a friends film and the next day running a post house.

100% Synthesized SFX for Stylized Realism in Games

October 2, 2014, 05:25 AM

http://designingsound.org/2014/10/100-synthesized-...

If you were born in the 70’s or 80’s and played video games, you’ll no doubt have fond memories of the early days of game audio when consoles were incapable of playing back more than basic pulse waves or noise. All sounds had to be forged from these primitives, and game SFX were rarely even slightly reminiscent of anything actually real. Now, however, realistic sound is only as far away as your portable recorder or favourite sound library. Realism in sound has become accessible to the poin...

Logic Pro X's Patches feature allows you to quickly bring up a collection of audio effects with settings with one-click. But do we need that many, and should we be more selective when mixing down?

“For decades critics of modern classical music have been derided as philistines for failing to grasp the subtleties of the chaotic sounding compositions, but there may now be an explanation for why many audiences find them so difficult to listen to.

5 Things Creating Noise In A Modern Recording Stud

August 10, 2014, 10:44 AM

http://www.pro-tools-expert.com/home-page/2014/8/1...

In the ‘good old days’ of recording we used to have a room for everything, live room, vocal booth, control room, gear closet and machine room were usually the basics of any recording studio. Then things got smaller and cheaper - including the record company and TV company budgets, so today many of us find ourselves in a single room to do all we used to do in many rooms.
