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

How to Score, Indie Style

Film is obviously a visual medium. Elements from the art direction, to the specificity of camera angles, to wardrobe, amalgamate to establish tone and elicit emotion from an audience. What is less apparent, yet equally influential in creating texture and mood of a piece, are the sound design and the score.

Networked production – not quite utopia?

October 23, 2013, 12:46 PM

http://smpteconnect.blogspot.com/2013/10/networked...

A lot of focus on Day 2 was the transition IT based / Networked Media sessions.The trend (of course) for production centers is to networks, where everyone in the production centre is interconnected.   But is this quite the utopia it sounds?  There will, we learned, still be headaches for the engineers who have to plan and install them.The phrase "of the shelf" products for Networked Media needs qualifications. You cannot achieve the performance we need by combining different systems and s...

Editing animation

October 23, 2013, 09:17 AM

http://www.jaa-editing.com/blog/editing-animation....

This is part 2 of 3 detailling my processes as an editor on an animated series - for part one see "Editing an Animatic".As in the previous post, the following notes relate to my specific experiences - mainly as editor on a 52 x 11 minute animation series. Review stages and timings vary significantly for features and other forms, and in my experience by project too. This workflow is based more on a CG workflow within a 3D* environment, although the principles of the early stages are similar...
