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

Mood Boards Are a Visual Alternative to Storyboard

I like to consider myself an artist who isn’t artistic. At least not when it comes to drawing. I cannot draw worth a lick. If I need to make a storyboard, it’s going to be stick figures all the way.

February 24, 2014 Cultural Weekly ran an extensive (and awesome) interview with Jim Hession about the process of cutting Rich Hill. At one point, writer Sophia Stein asks Jim, "How were you introduced to directors Tracy Droz Tragos and Andrew Droz Palermo for the first time and invited to collaborate on 'RICH HILL'?"

Workflow Review: Backing Up and Delivering Content

August 4, 2014, 05:21 PM

https://fstoppers.com/editorial/workflow-review-ba...

Western Digital makes some of my favorite hard drives, and one drive in particular recently caught my interest: the My Cloud. The idea of the My Cloud was appealing: managing my own cloud network that could be accessed from anywhere and also shared out of, but without a monthly fee. Basically, it is a personal DropBox. I had a pretty set-in-stone process for working remotely and delivering content which has included DropBox, but I decided to give a wholly WD workflow a shot and see if it could d...

Cinema 4D Lite: No Delay Effector? No Problem

August 4, 2014, 09:49 AM

Cinema 4D Lite is exactly that… a lite version of Cinema 4D. If you are a seasoned Cinema 4D user who happens to sit at a computer with only Cinema 4D Lite installed, you will find yourself calling keyboard shortcut commands that do nothing.
