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

Ducking with Waves C6 Today, I’m going to discuss how to use a ducker in any post production audio mix and specifically ducking music with dialog using Waves C6 Multi-Band Compressor with a side-chain.  I use duckers in virtually every mix, with a slight variation on how much gain reduction I allow them depending on […]

Except for a brief, glorious period in 2009, Motionographer has always been a hobby. I launched it when I was a full-time student, and as soon as I graduated, I started working full-time to pay the bills. All the contributors have full-time jobs, too. We’re busy people, scattered across the globe. We do this because we love it.

The original LaCie Little Big Disk was a neat little product, a fast Thunderbolt drive small enough to balance on your hand with two SATA SSDs inside.

One of the television shows I’ve really enjoyed recently has been Penny Dreadful, a critically-acclaimed horror series from Showtime. It stars Josh Hartnett, Timothy Dalton and Eva Green, draws nearly 5 million viewers across all platforms every week – and the sound is brilliant.

Add these things together and what you get is Tracks. Adapted from the book by Robyn Davidson and directed by John Curran, Tracks tells the true story of one woman’s trek across the Australian outback.
