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

Crazy Rich Asians’ Editor tackled the Mahjong Sc

With a closer look at Crazy Rich Asians, there is quite the clever shift between the light and funny romantic comedy that draws us in and the dramatic second act we are dazzled with as the credits roll. It's quite the subversive take on an ensemble comedy that critics and audiences alike have been celebrating with box office highs we forgot a movie of this genre could achieve.

In 2017 the patents for MP3, held by The Fraunhofer Institute, expired. As 2018 unfolds, more and more manufacturers are pulling support for the codec. The MP3 format is one of the most widely known audio codecs, and it was largely responsible for the explosion of the digital audio world.

The Meg VFX Breakdown

September 4, 2018, 09:34 AM

https://www.mpaa.org/2018/09/the-meg-vfx-breakdown...

The Meg was one of this summer’s more joyous films, giving us Jason Statham, a massive shark, and breakout star Kelly the dog (an actual dog). The movie was fun, silly, and again, had a 75-foot long prehistoric shark (the Megalodon, hence the film’s title) going tooth-to-toe with Statham’s deep-sea rescue diver Jonas Taylor. Now, we’ve got a look at how effects shop Scanline VFX helped create some of The Meg‘s wildest visuals, including the titular beast itself. While there are a ton o...

Why Coco made you cry

IT’S A GIVEN THAT PIXAR has cracked the code for calibrating the perfect feeling-all-the-feels moment: That instant where the narrative taps into its audience’s deepest emotions and reduces it to tears. It’s there in “Toy Story 3.” “Up,” of course. “Inside Out.”

If you are in post production it’s likely you will have worked – directly or indirectly – for Netflix already. Either as your client, or your client’s client.

The debate about 2d versus 3d animation is becoming increasingly irrelevant as more artists use an integrated 2d/3d approach thanks to the new generation of powerful animation tools.

Is Netflix's New Loudness Delivery Spec Genius?

It seemed I started getting emails from people almost as soon as the virtual ink was dry on the latest delivery spec to come from Netflix. People were concerned about the language and the impression that Netflix had turned the clock back 10 years by using Dolby’s Dialog Intelligence software. In this article, we investigate to see if Netflix’s new delivery spec is a retrograde move, a pragmatic response to the changing climate, or a stroke of genius.
