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

There’s one major downside to the way Adam McKay and Will Ferrell make movies. Eventually, they have to go through the footage and pick out one joke for any given moment. When making a film like Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues, the director and star shoot so much footage that, once they finally made it into the editing room, the difficult work finally began.

The strategy for Adam McKay, Will Ferrell, and the comic collaborators of Anchorman 2 is to create a million choices for the editing department, so how do they build the final film out of that mountain of material? We took a trip to the editing room to find out.

To meet an ever-expanding data storage agenda, the industry continues to create higher capacity hard drives to support larger pools of storage. Beyond those tangible solutions, familiar companies from Microsoft to Cisco to Amazon sell storage space for users to put their information into cloud-based repositories of an unknown scale. Entire industry sectors, not just broadcast, media and entertainment, encourage drive manufacturers to throw fuel on this uncontrollable fire.

Adobe has admitted that it is taking significantly longer than it expected to email all of the customers affected by the epic-scale security breach, with some customers not being informed more than 10 weeks after the data theft. Despite discovering the attack on September 17, the company did not go public with the information until October 3, with the company still having not informed all affected customers now, a full month after the theft.
