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

As professional storytellers, we understand how audiences understand our intentions as filmmakers. We exploit the cinematic crafts like music, sound, direction, and wardrobe, to communicate genre. Is our story a drama or a comedy? Appropriate titles, set design, framing, and composition can all … more » The post Review: Magic Bullet Suite 13 appeared first on Studio Daily.

OWC DEC expansion slice for 2016 MacBook Pro updat

February 2, 2017, 07:31 AM

At the beginning of January OWC previewed their DEC expansion system for the 15" 2016 MacBook Pro. They supplied images of a device that attaches to the base of the machine. The image they first used didn't show how the device is designed to connect to the Mac. You may have missed an update from the Mac Performance Guide in which they had a look at a DEC prototype. I’ve seen the prototype of the OWC DEC first hand. The DEC bolts onto the bottom of the MacBook Pro after removi...

Now the fun begins. This is where your mind gets blown. Last year I attended an international conference for film teachers called CILECT, at Columbia College in Chicago. A speaker, whose name I wasn’t able to find in time for this webinar, shared this video with me, and my jaw hit the floor. What you’re about to watch in action is a computer program that can ingest movies, and create the author of this program calls a movie fingerprint. This project, called Cinemetrics, is a bachelor’...

After years of watching the same scene cut over and over again what I’ve come to realize that the way we train editors all wrong. And it's about to change in a big way - a big data way that is. EditStock will be at the forefront of this change. We’ll come back to what EditStock is specifically going to do later, but first let’s discuss what I mean by big data.More

Don’t Look Now, But Cinema Is Dead Again

February 1, 2017, 02:03 PM

https://filmschoolrejects.com/cinema-is-dead-again...

Well, shit. While we were all spending our afternoons wading through political headlines, Hollywood up and died again. At least that’s the idea put forth in two competing articles in The New Yorker and Vanity Fair. According to Vanity Fair, the film industry is embarking upon its last gasp before technology renders cinema obsolete. According to The New Yorker, filmmakers will soon tackle interlocking and audience-driven narratives, with each member deciding for themselves the outcome of the fi...
