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

Dolby Atmos enabled speakers: Get the facts

If you’ve seen a movie in a Dolby Atmos® cinema and heard a giant monster’s bellowing roar coming from far above you, or heard the sounds of a battle moving all through the theatre, you’ve probably thought, “I wish I could have this kind of experience at home.”

Back around the time I was first starting out, I remember opening up a demo of Cubase VST (on my trusty PowerMac 6400) and taking a look through the various menus. Everything seemed pretty standard, but something in particular caught my eye, a menu item labeled “Ears Only”.

When it comes to the search for a free and reliable Digital Audio Workstations (DAW) to record music, the Internet has a number of terrible choices to offer. Free applications often come in one of three forms: gutted versions of premium software, fully functional trials of premium software, or standalone programs developed with the financial lure of proliferating malware and useless toolbars.

NEW YORK — Last week, I received an “Anonymous” email with a letter attached to it that was said to have been prepared by a core group of former Look Effects employees. The visual effects studio, which had four locations — Brooklyn, Los Angeles, Vancouver and Germany — recently closed, and many of its employees were not given their un-paid wages, some amounting to as much as $50,000.

Post problems? Don't blame technology - FCPWORKS

An excerpt from on a Red Shark post written by a cinematographer:  The shenanigans we are seeing now, the re-framing and re-cropping of our work by less talented others, will only become more upsetting and egregious as the pixel counts rise higher. Alas, giving producers, editors and indecisive directors so much resolution invites foul play.  And that is exactly what many of us are experiencing now. My first reaction to this was "now DPs will truly understand how screenwriters feel,...

The venue for our review is our Notre Dame High School, Fairfield, CT, which is currently serving as a temporary sanctuary for Black Rock Church while our new facility is in its final stages of completion. Streaming and recording services has become a priority for many churches including ours, because it enables us to reach more people. We use a simple two-camera setup to provide views of the risers and the stage. Two Panasonic HD AVCHD cameras were set up to receive audio directly from the even

This is very useful if you need to send your media somewhere else. A good use of this function would be if you needed to send your media to be color graded, or if you needed to send your content to After Effects.
