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

K-Tek’s Shockmount Review

October 23, 2013, 03:56 AM

http://filmmakeriq.com/2013/10/k-teks-shockmount-d...

Nautilus’ form is inspired by the logarithmic spiral, a design found in nature in objects like hurricanes, spiral galaxies and the chambered nautilus, a conch-like shellfish that’s widely admired for its graceful symmetry. The Nautilus spiral was chosen over a host of other natural and artificial designs after a year of intensive R&D by the K-Tek design team. K-Tek engineers had to tighten up the curve from the logarithmic spiral they started with in order to make it fit into K-Tek’s upcom...

Apple announced the general availability of Mac OS X Mavericks today. The natural question to ask is, should I upgrade or not? Will my existing software work? Will my Creative Cloud apps continue to work?

MUSIC EDITING

October 22, 2013, 08:01 PM

http://lfhd.net/2013/10/22/music-editing/

(For the sake of this post, I’m going to speak in terms of editing documentary or reality or corporate presentation type projects, not scripted. The approach to music in scripted projects is a little different) More often that not lately, editors in my end of the production spectrum have been tasked with using library music in [...]

Defining DIT: The Big Misconception

October 22, 2013, 08:00 PM

http://nofilmschool.com/2013/10/defining-dit-bigge...

It’s easy to put an idea in someone’s mind — yet incredibly difficult to bore it out. Somewhere along the line, perhaps in the film industry’s switch from analog to digital, major misconceptions about the Digital Imaging Technician‘s place on set have arisen.

Should you do a "clean install" of Mavericks?

October 22, 2013, 08:00 PM

http://www.macworld.com/article/2056563/should-you...

It used to be that when upgrading to a major new version of OS X, installing over an existing OS X installation—for example, installing 10.3 over 10.2—entailed some degree of risk, as existing applications, add-ons, and support files could conflict with the new OS. For this reason, many people used to perform a “clean install”: wiping your hard drive (after backing it up, of course), installing the latest version of OS X, and then either using Setup/Migration Assistant to restore your ap...

Although many Final Cut Pro X users were disappointed that Apple didn’t announce a new version on October 22, the day’s launches provided some interesting news. The first of which is that most of the effects, titles, generators and transitions in iMovie 2013 were created using Motion 5, the animation software used to make plugins …Read More
