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

When the Visual Effects Society gathers Feb. 12 for its 12th annual VES Awards, Alfonso Cuaron can expect to spend a lot of time at the winner's podium. Gravity leads in the feature film competition with eight nominations, and the director is set to receive the group's Visionary Award.

Aronofsky's Cut of 'Noah' Untouched by Studio

For those worried that director Darren Aronofsky taking on a big studio film like Noah would result in a whitewashed version of the filmmaker's vision, we have some good news. A report from THR (via The Playlist) extensively covers the making of the film, and while Aronofsky reveals that Paramount Pictures initially tried several of their own cuts of the Biblical epic with an eye towards pleasing a Christian audience, they weren't better than his own early, rough cuts. The result was Paramount f...

BAFTA film awards winners 2014: predictions

This is definitely the most bracing score on the list. The Tom Hanks-starring wobbly-camera tension-thriller is an incredibly visceral film, and Jackman's music is a percussion-heavy bolster to the action. In the grand scheme of movie composers, he's in the infancy of his career and on the same path as so many before him - apprenticed under Hans Zimmer, assisting on notable blockbusters (Pirates of the Carribbean, The Dark Knight… err… Kung Fu Panda…) and now he's increasingly being given ...

FCP X: Rules of the Consolidate Command

With the release of FCP X 10.1 the Consolidate command became much more sophisticated and powerful. Since it is now a two-way street with variables, the key to this command is understanding External versus Managed media.

My stomach does a little cringe when I think about all the artists out there who are trying to keep their heads above water after the massive purge over the last year. The unstable houses have fallen, leaving literally thousands … more »

Motion tracking in FCPX with CoreMelt...

February 12, 2014, 11:07 AM

http://www.pauljoy.com/2014/02/motion-tracking-in-...

I was recently invited to try out the TrackX and SliceX FCP plugins from CoreMelt. I’ve needed to use motion tracking on a few jobs in the past and have always relied on After Effects for the task. The TrackX and SliceX plugins from CoreMelt offer up the ability to do motion tracking directly with the FCP Interface which is a real positive for me.

(Mis)adventures in Cat Recording

February 12, 2014, 05:52 AM

http://designingsound.org/2014/02/misadventures-in...

About three years ago, on a whim, I adopted a 6 month old kitten. I had dealt with cats before at friends’ and family’s houses, but had never owned one, and Luna (short for “Lunatic”) was full of surprises. After her initial “moving in” period, in which she hid under the bed for nearly a week, I discovered that Luna was an exceedingly outspoken individual that needed to make sure everyone knew that she was here and ready to conquer the world (or at least the apartment)...
