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

Years ago, an editor told me that editing is 60% editing ability and 40% getting on with people and I think that holds true

How Movie Sound Effects Are Made

There's a scene in Gravity where Sandra Bullock's character, Ryan, is wielding a drill in space — but there is, of course, no air in space, therefore no sound. So in the film, viewers heard the vibrations Sandra would have felt through her space suit. Pretty complicated stuff, no?

While "Gravity" is heavily favored to win its other technical bids, only 20 of our 30 Experts are predicting it to win Best Editing. That support is enough to give "Gravity" helmer Alfonso Cuaron and his co-editor Mark Sanger leading odds of 4/7.

How Oscar-Nominated Sound Sounds

http://www.fastcocreate.com/3027050/how-oscar-nomi...

There is not one sound in a film that the audience hears by accident. Like every frame, every single noise is a conscious decision. As the supervising sound editor on the Academy Award-nominated war film, Lone Survivor, Wylie Stateman is responsible for the planning and execution of each and every one of those sounds, and how they're integrated into the film. Although Stateman's team includes foley artists, production mixers, composers, and many others, he is in charge of most creative decisions...

Chris Watson is probably the world’s most famous field recordist. Without a doubt he has more recordings of animal sounds than we could listen to in a lifetime, However, we’re straying slightly off of animal recordings and into Watson’s collection of natural sounds – and how they ended up as one of the most unique and exciting sampled instruments: Geosonics by Soniccouture. Designing Sound chatted with Soniccouture’s James Thompson about the project.
