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

What happens when a drive fails on a Pegasus

We love Promise Pegasus R6 RAIDS. Lots of capacity, a fast Thunderbolt connection and they are (pretty) reliable. Spinning disks do go wrong, so what happens if your R6 has a hard drive failure?

As we all know, movies are a collaborative medium. Every movie production, by necessity, involves a complex and coordinated collaboration of highly skilled creative, technical and support personnel.

My contribution to this week's Free Effect Friday free Final Cut Pro X plugin is a lower third title: Alex4D Leaves. It blows the letters onto the screen to form the title, and then blows them off. Here are the controls...

From Musician to Music Editor to Editor to AMPAS G

Michael Tronick, A.C.E., has to stop and pinch himself when he thinks about the people he has encountered in the more than two decades he’s worked as an editor on such films as Midnight Run (1988), Days of Thunder (1990) and True Romance (1993). He has had multi-film collaborations with directors Martin Brest and Tony Scott, and his list of editing mentors includes some of the best in the profession.

Hud Sucker

Just a brief note to say how much I enjoyed Kevin Lewis’ “The Great Sequelization of Hollywood” (CineMontage MAY-JUN 13) and look forward to the sequel. However, his “This Month in Film History” article entitled “Mad Cowboy” really was fascinating and whet my appetite to take a fresh look at Hud (1963). It has been years since I’ve seen it.

The benefits of author Philip Roth’s method would seem obvious to any artist, but my experience as an editor has taught me otherwise. On the eve of a recent test screening, a presumably experienced client confided, “Is there really any point in this exercise? I mean, we know how well it’s working, right?"

On Saturday, June 22, as Film Independent’s 2013 edition of its LA FilmFest was approaching its end, a stellar array of women editors shared the spotlight in a festival conversation. It was entitled Women in the Cut: A Celebration of Women Editors and was presented to a capacity audience in downtown’s LA Live Regal Cinema 12.

SIGHT, SOUND and STORY

“Inside the Cutting Room: Sight, Sound and Story,” Manhattan Edit Workshop’s celebration of all things editing, took place this past June 8th. This marked the first time the edit training company presented the daylong event. Considering how complicated it can be to organize such programs, MEWshop (that’s their web address) did quite well, with panels that moved along with nary a hitch.

It's hard to believe that it's already August. If you haven't backed up lately now is the time.

When Steve Jobs launched the iPhone 4 in March 2010, one of the big new features was a much higher resolution screen.
