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

If you're in need of some quick inspiration to help you get bigger beats from Native Instruments' Massive, ModeAudio can help. Critical Mass has drums a-plenty and G. W. Childs finds them banging.

Universal Audio say “Developed by the amp modeling gurus at Brainworx, the Chandler Limited GAV19T Amplifier plug-in is an exacting emulation of this ultra-responsive, dual EL84-powered boutique guitar amp. Inspired by British classics such as Vox and Marshall — and lesser-known gems from Watkins and Selmer — the Chandler Limited GAV19T Amplifier plug-in goes from supple clean textures, grinding blues tones, and rowdy distortions that gush with character.”

I remember sitting in a business class years ago and one of the attendees said ‘I need to write a business plan for the bank manager” without blinking the tutor retorted “you first person you need to write the business plan for is you.”

The term “compression” is often a source of confusion when discussing digital music. There are two kinds of compression. The first is the kind used to compress the size of files; this is data compression. There is lossy compression, using with MP3 and AAC files, and lossless compression, used with FLAC and Apple Lossless formats.

I have a video editing pet peeve called lip flap. Lip flap is when you take a shot and the person or persons in the shot is talking while there is narration. Maybe they are talking to the reporter, or another person in the shot. What they’re really doing is distracting the viewer. Anytime I see a shot like this edited in a story I think it’s very distracting. I’m trying to listen to the narration and I’m trying to listen to what the person in the shot is saying. All that listening and I...

Sometimes the best way to come up with an idea is to use a paper and pencil to draw it out. It allows you to use your imagination and see if something will work. The big movie studios doses this, indie films, and other creative fields.
