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

Red Giant recently released BulletProof - their new data transfer and management tool for DSLR shooters. BulletProof & was first introduced as a "teaser" at NAB 2013 back in April along with the premiere of Seth Worley's "Spy vs Guy". What makes BulletProof unique is its easy to follow and use workflow and controls to ingest and manage your data in the field, on-set and through to the edit bay.

We missed July linkage as we were too busy editing to pull all the links together. But here's a bigger and better August linkage for your reading pleasure. Here is a very interesting read as to where Avid might have gone with the whole second screen and metadata stuff. If only. And in good After Effects stuff...

Keeping a consistent and pleasing look on a multi-camera shoot is always a challenge. However, multi-Emmy Award nominated cinematographer Gary Baum has found that shooting four HD cameras simultaneously, might not give him the luxury of multiple lighting setups within a scene, but he can get the lighting and lenses to match perfectly by using [...]

In the Avid Symphony the metadata that is populated in the Start, Tape or Source File Column, and the "Bin" menu "Set Bin Display..." "Sources" is what is used to establish a link to essence in both Avid and Resolve. This metadata can be used to create an EDL, and an AAF.

In 2008 I wrote a post covering 12 Tips for Better Film Editing. I’ve been cutting a small indie feature over the past few weeks and it’s given me an opportunity to refocus on the art rather than the tools. Here are some additional tips that hopefully will make you a better editor.

What is it about manflu and training DVDs? Once again, I am confined to duvet, lines of lemsip cut with vitamin C ready for snorting, and I am watching the latest instalment of Per Holmes’ Magnum Opus - “Hot Moves - the Science of Awesome”. And once again, it’s an amazing watch. This 115 minute long DVD/MP4 feature is an ‘addendum’ to the ‘Master Course In High-End Blocking & Staging’ course

With the increase in shooting ratios and shortened production schedules, many directors turn to shooting their project with two cameras for the entire time. Since REDs and Canon HDSLRs are bountiful and reasonably priced to buy or rent, even a low budget indie film can take advantage of this. Let me say from the beginning...

Steven Spielberg uses 12 shots in 16 seconds to reveal the essence of Indiana Jones without using a word. Alone these shots are static and simple...cut together they flow seamlessly and carry momentum. See how he edits in the camera.
