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

“Editor needed for new docu-series on major cable network, think ‘Real Housewives.’  Speed speed speed, must be FAST!   “Rockstar Avid editor needed, must be FAST!” I’ve seen so many postings like this on numerous job boards of late and it really does show just how far the craft of Post Production, and in this […]

Project Management, What Do You Use?

http://walterbiscardi.com/project-management-what-...

One of the top questions I get asked is “how to you manage your projects?”  It’s something that has been evolving as Biscardi Creative Media has grown.   Heck in the beginning I didn’t even assign job numbers to the projects because it was just me, myself and I doing maybe 2 projects per month.

Last week, I stumbled over VisionColor's new set of OSIRIS LUTs. A grab bag of high quality Film emulations that gives you a great starting point for your grading.  Similar to FilmConvert they provide a range of film stock looks...

It’s the Story, Stupid.

As Hollywood laments the failure of “tentpole” blockbuster movies, the studios conveniently overlook the obvious. It’s summer here in the U.S. and with it the traditional season for the blockbuster film, also known at the tentpole.  ”Jaws” started the trend in the 70′s and Hollywood has been hooked ever since.  The thinking is that if […]

This Industry is What YOU Make It.

“There’s no work!”     “People have lost all hope and faith in the business”   “Every video producer is now stressed wondering where their next meal ticket is coming and using all their time marketing with no success.” I’m getting tired of these generalities being thrown out there about the sorry state of our […]

4k. What’s Really Happening Right Now?

September 21, 2013, 03:08 PM

http://walterbiscardi.com/4k-whats-really-happenin...

During and after NAB I’ve been inundated with questions about 4k production and post.   The biggest questions revolve around how quickly is 4k going to move into the mainstream of production.  Folks I know who are on the forefront of the 4k movement tell me that broadcasters will be moving to accept the move […]

Yes, You DO Need ALL the Footage!

September 21, 2013, 03:08 PM

http://walterbiscardi.com/yes-you-do-need-all-the-...

Got a great email this week from a young editor who asked a very honest question.  “Does the editor have to get ALL the raw material from the shooter or should they expect the footage to be trimmed before receiving it?” In other words, should the shooter trim out all head / tails / extra […]
