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

I know that it’s common to feel like you’ve just heard the loudest sound in the world when leaving your local club after a metal band does its thing, or maybe compare that to the launch of Saturn V vehicle, but neither of those are even close. According to a fascinating article in the FiveThirtyEight, the loudest sound in world ever measured occurred on the morning of August 27th, 1883 when the volcanic island of Krakatoa blew itself to bits. It was reported that the sound was heard over 2,8...

As many of the writers that contribute to DesigningSound have explored, there is a huge benefit gained by the community when tutorials and learning materials are freely shared. Well established tools and pipelines have a multitude of learning resources available, including video and written tutorials, making it relatively easy to learn new techniques outside of […]

In this lesson, Kevin P McAuliffe answers a great viewer question about the Audio Ducking feature in Media Composer, and whether it’s possible to drop super long VO’s into your timelines, with no editing done to them, and still work with Audio Ducking, or is it based on the in and out points of edited The post Let’s Edit with Media Composer – ADVANCED – Audio Ducking In-Depth appeared first on ProVideo Coalition.

Picture by littlevisuals.co As exciting as it is, the world of audio is extremely vague and can easily be frightening for any newcomers -the word itself covering such a variety of fields with so few common things between them. It seemed important, for this month dedicated to Tutorials, to try to give, with the help […]

By Jennifer Walden After four seasons of Comedy Central’s Inside Amy Schumer, it’s hard to imagine still being shocked by the comic’s particular brand of comedy. Somehow Schumer still manages to make jokes that leave you uncomfortable — jokes that are so, so wrong, but so, Continue reading →July 18, 2016

After months of waiting and a beta phase, the team of Pixar's RenderMan finally launches Version 21 of its popular engine. This is a significant release, in more ways than one. - First of first, Pixar permanently removes the venerable Reyes architecture : it has had a major role in the past, but it has had its day. Only RIS and path tracing system remains. This choice was predictable; it has some drawbacks (the scenes using the old methods no longer be made properly), it allows to clean in...

As great as Apple’s tablets, smartphones and computers are, nothing’s perfect. All hardware eventually fails. Your iPhone or MacBook can get lost or stolen. Files can be corrupted. If any of these things happen at a time when backing your data up to the cloud isn’t an option, you’re gonna have a bad day. For a guy like me, who travels as he works, one bad day’s worth of lost data can add up to a ton of lost revenue.
