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

Why Aren't There More Music Oscars?

February 28, 2014, 10:44 AM

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/earshot/why-arent...

For far too long, music’s relationship with the Oscars has been a one-way street. You can’t argue the importance of an Oscar to an artist’s career, whether it’s conferring mainstream respectability to Eminem, burnishing the legend of Elton John or Bruce Springsteen, or turning the undeniable talent of Randy Newman and Danny Elfman into solid bankability. But why is Oscar so standoffish when it comes to recognizing the importance of music in the many ways it helps define a movie or suppor...

Apple Mac Pro review

To say it's taken a long time for Apple to launch a redesigned Mac Pro is an understatement. Aside from a minor update in 2012, the old model hadn't changed in nearly four years, lacked many modern technologies such as Thunderbolt and USB 3 and had been discontinued in the UK. People were questioning whether Apple remained committed to the product, since the lion's share of the company's revenue now comes from the iPad, iPhone, and iTunes store.

As we have previously reported, as a result of the restatement, previously issued financial statements are not accurate and should not be relied upon. We request that you delete any reference to Avid’s financial results, as your reporting is inaccurate.

SEIU United Service Workers West is using the protest, set for Friday, to ask the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences to rethink its choice for security for the Oscars. The union would like the Academy to chose a security contractor which gives its employees opportunities for full time work and to be unionized, which the union says is not the case.
