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

How Composer Alex Ebert Tuned Into A Most Violent

Alex Ebert, who's the frontman of an indie folkband called Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, won a surprise Golden Globe in January for scoring "All Is Lost," taking to the stage with his messily coiffed head of hair, and smoothly diffident demeanor. "All Is Lost" was his first collaboration with director J.C. Chandor...

TK Audio Announces Mono Blender

This 500 series module makes parallel processing easier than ever – an easy example would be using an LA2A compressor as one input on the Mono Blender, while simultaneously feeding a vocal track into the Mono Blender. Users need only to twiddle the wet/dry ratio.

http://designingsound.org/2014/12/psychology-of-10...

For this month’s topic of “Psychoacoustics” I thought I’d stretch the definition a bit and finally write an article I have wanted to for a while now, and discuss the sound design of World of Warcraft.

SONGS IN MOVIES Songs have been a big part of the movie-making process ever since the beginning of “talkies,” with Al Jolson singing “My Mammy” in The Jazz Singer (1927)—a prime example of an on-camera featured song in a movie. Songs have always been an important part of entertainment, and their attraction, interest, and “pull”...

Just like Ray Kinsella, the character played by Kevin Costner in Field of Dreams, a voice (or rather my intuition) led me to create the Association and the James Horner Film Music website.

Best Of 2014: The 15 Best Movie Soundtracks Of 201

December 10, 2014, 01:52 PM

http://blogs.indiewire.com/theplaylist/best-of-201...

Last week we kicked off our end-of-year coverage (all of which to date you can find here) in fine style by celebrating our 15 favorite scores of the year, but that’s only half the story in regards film music. Just as integral to our enjoyment, and often even more so to a film’s profile (as an ancillary, well-curated selection of earwormy tracks can be a highly marketable extra), is the soundtrack.
