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

NSFW: Watch Orson Welles’s Porno Movie

Josh Karp’s new book, Orson Welles's Last Movie: The Making of The Other Side of the Wind — written up recently in these pages — contains a marvelous, little-known story about the legendary filmmaker’s involvement in a high-end mid-1970s pornographic film. Welles, wrote Karp, “wound up editing a hard-core lesbian shower scene that he couldn’t resist cutting in Wellesian fashion with low camera angles and other trademark flair.”

After Effects Hidden Gems: Color Working Space

Not all pixels are created equal. Different devices often use different internal representations for the same color we see. HDTV video is one color space, which is fortunately related to sRGB (the default for many computer-connected devices). But still images from a professional photographer are probably in Adobe RGB or ProPhoto RGB color spaces, which is rather different. And anybody creating graphics without color management - from Illustrator logos to 3D renders - may be unwittingly creat...

History in the Remaking: Looking Back at the Look

June 8, 2015, 04:10 PM

http://www.creativeplanetnetwork.com/news/shoot/hi...

The mention of Vikings usually conjures images of horned helmets, battle axes and burly Scandinavians pillaging their way across Europe. The truth is far different, and HISTORY's Vikings, which recently completed its third season, has strived to come much closer to chronicling the reality of the Dark Age Norsemen. The burly men – and women – might be present, along with the longships, the round shields and even the battle axes—but instead Vikings focuses on the real history of the Nordic w...

Pixar Finds It's "Reason and Emotion"

This is an interesting moment to be a Disney observer. Remember that Walt once mined the most peculiar material, resulting in abstract weirdness in his collaborations with Ub Iwerks. The reason it’s a joy to watch Silly Symphonies is they are gloriously bizarre. A spine being played like a xylophone? Sure, and the boneyard of Skeleton Dance isn’t the half of it.
