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

The National Association of Broadcasters this week issued comments on the FCC’s decision to eliminate two reserved RF channels, amounting to 12 MHz of exclusive spectrum previously reserved as part of a compromise during the TV White Spaces proceeding. When broadcasters lost exclusive access to 10-20 channels in most major television markets, the FCC established the two reserved channels for ENG and other broadcast applications.

When a crew wraps on the shooting of a film, a cinematographer's work is still far from finished -- he has to color correct the whole thing.

Thunderbolt docks have always been something that I've wanted, but haven't absolutely needed. The $300-$500 price range of these little all-in-one boxes didn't spark urgency in my search for the perfect dock either. Given a little time for the excitement (and price) of Thunderbolt-related technology to die down a bit, however, the prospect began to grow more interesting. An improvement on their previous dock, CalDigit's $200 TS2 seemed to be the perfect connection dreambox at the right price. So...

While it’s typically actors and directors who get to enjoy the greatest amount of praise through any year in cinema, certainly one of the greatest aspects of the award season is the opportunity to take a deep look at the below-the-line work that’s done to make the great films as great as they are. In this spectrum, editors play an incredibly vital role, as many filmmakers would tell you that it’s in the cutting room that a movie is truly uncovered for what it is.

You probably already know that Big Hero 6 and the latest Planet of Apes did surprisingly well. Does this indicate an upset in the best animated film and best visual effects categories on Oscar night? Will the latest How to Train Your Dragon, or Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar be left behind if VES serves as an augury in how Tinsel Town is assessing the worthiness VFX?

NAME: Joël Gibbs COMPANY: Magnetic Dreams (@MagneticDreams) CAN YOU DESCRIBE YOUR COMPANY? Magnetic Dreams is an animation studio located in Nashville. We handle a variety of projects ranging from VFX, motion graphics to full CG spots. WHAT’S YOUR JOB TITLE? Well, it’s sort of a two-headed beast title: Director and Lead Compositor. WHAT DOES THAT ENTAIL? Being a smaller studio, you tend to wear several hats. For me, I’ve somehow worked my way into being at both ends of the produ...

The news, today, that Kodak finalized motion picture film agreements with major Hollywood studios is a new step in the story of film not being dead yet. We recently published here the story of Ferrania Film coming back, and now it is time to confirm that Kodak will be a name present in future movie and television productions.
