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

NAME: John Piccolo COMPANY:  New York City’s Fluid (@fluidny), which has offices in Los Angeles as well CAN YOU DESCRIBE YOUR COMPANY? What I love about Fluid is that we are a one-stop shop.

WHAT’S YOUR JOB TITLE? Editor WHAT DOES THAT ENTAIL? Visual storytelling. It’s always exciting ...

Oscars: Why Composers Went "Traditional"

When it comes to film scoring, "adventurous" sometimes gets conflated with "electronic," especially at the Oscars. But not this year, as the nominated scores eschew computer-generated sounds to take risks with old-fashioned acoustic instrumentation.

One might say that we need another audio format like we need a hole in the head, but here's a new one that actually makes some sense. The good people at high-end Meridian Audio have come up with an interesting way to pack a lossless encode into an MP3 container.

Day 12 #28daysofquicktips - Clean up the Adobe Pre

February 12, 2015, 10:25 AM

If you remember the early days of Premiere Pro you probably remember what a cluttered interface the application had. It was rather ugly and not very well thought out. Buttons, switches and dials were everywhere. The modern Adobe Premiere Pro CC is much cleaner but you can clean up the viewing monitors even more.
