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

Beautiful Reality: Making Walter Mitty's World

VFX supervisor Guillaume Rocheron describes his approach to the visual effects of The Secret Life of Walter Mitty as a process of creating a ‘beautified reality’ – a kind of reality that is not quite real and not quite fantastical. “Walter (played by Ben Stiller) sees the world through the eyes of the expert photographers at Life magazine who are seeing the beauty of nature and the world at its best,” says Rocheron.

Cinematography is the art of composing the scenes of the film so they can visually tell the story in a functional and creative way. The purpose of composition is to direct the viewer's eye to the central point or "story" in your scene. Regardless of the particular subject, composition of the frame is important.

The beginning of a new year is always a great time to reflect back on where we’ve been and make some predictions on where we’re headed.   In this case, I’m talking about Post Production since that is the heart of what I’ve done my entire career.    From my perspective, here’s where I see […]

So just how good are the dual GPUs in the new Mac Pro? We asked audio visual performer Jim Warrier to take them to their limits by running visual performance benchmark apps. The faster they go, the faster FCPX and Motion will go too.

Rumbling Under the Radar

Last year we revamped our voiceover recording chain, replacing a microphone and “voice channel” (a microphone preamp with additional signal processing) that were both dying. Both replacements - a KEL Song Sparrow large-diaphragm condenser microphone and Presonus VXP voice channel - are excellent tools in isolation. However, we overlooked something in their combination that has come back to bite us. Please learn from our mistakes...

2013 in Instagrams

A year in review, limited to Instagrams. They’re interesting because they usually capture a feeling more than an event. For me, anyhow. This was my last year, in square cropped filtered phone pictures.
