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

Blackmagic first announced DaVinci Resolve 12 back in April at NAB, but now they have released a public beta and say that the final release will be available in late August.

For those on a budget, the free version offers a surprisingly complete fe...

It’s game over for humanity. Well, it is by the end of Patrick Jean’s 2010 short film Pixels, in which a swarm of 8-bit videogame characters escapes from a trashed TV and proceeds to turn first New York City, then the entire planet, into multi-coloured cubes.

Science examines edits: 7 types of narrative disco

July 28, 2015, 07:54 AM

http://alex4d.com/notes/item/science-examines-edit...

From a scientific paper: “Event segmentation and seven types of narrative discontinuity in popular movies” by James E. Cutting: These results suggest that there are at least four different signatures of narrative shifts to be found in popular movies — general patterns across time, patterns of historical change, genre-specific patterns, and film-specific patterns. [...] ...the structure of popular movies, and the changes in that structure over the last 80 years, are fit to perceptu...
