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

Television in Transition - The 1950’s Version

“An Evening with Fred Astaire” shines to this day as an example of excellence in early television. The program was produced in the midst of the turbulence over television's transition from kinescopes to videotape, monochrome to color, and live to recorded. But NBC, the network that aired it, was working through dilemmas largely of its own making.

The RØDE VideoMic Pro is a great, compact microphone for a DSLR or camcorder, but the main beef has been that it’s rubber band like shock design has been the bane of its existence since those same rubber bands have had to be replaced due to stretching out. Now it looks like RØDE has heard feedback from VideoMic Pro users and have decided that with the 2015 version, Rycote Lyre suspension has been added, replacing those bands completely.
