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

Cinema 4DX

August 24, 2015, 09:14 AM

http://www.jaa-editing.com/blog/cinema-4dx.html

4DX cinema is programmed by a South Korean company, building on the older theme-park style immersive experience (I have memories of an Alien 4D experience at a Disney park in which you could feel the simulated breath on the back of your neck as the speakers in the chair implied it was right behind you), but expanded out to mainstream feature films. The chairs move, and various effects of light, water, fragrance, and air surround the audience in complement to the on-screen action. Having r...

The Inevitable Convergence III – The NLE/Grading

August 24, 2015, 05:07 AM

http://www.creativeimpatience.com/the-inevitable-c...

With the introduction of Resolve 12, suddenly the race towards a unified NLE/Grading tool become very interesting. It’s hard to argue, that colour correction and grading became an integral part of post-production workflow. It’s also seemingly one of the low-hanging fruits, as opposed to visual effects and audio. Let’s see … see more →

Why did the President’s phone call get eliminated from ‘24’? Sometimes it’s not what’s onscreen, but what’s been removed that marks the work of these nominated editors.

Helping people consider alternatives

FiveThirtyEightScience on why it is hard to convince people of things if they’ve already decided. You have to be sure before you destroy what you already know and substitute it with something new   Simply exposing people to more information doesn’t help.   If you want someone to accept information that contradicts what they already know, you have to find a story they can buy into. That requires bridging the narrative they’ve already constructed to a new one that is bot...

Didgeridoo in church

http://www.thepoweredit.com/didgeridoo-in-church/

We’re suckers for singular moments that stand out. Floods of information wash over us, and the vast majority of it, for one reason or another, doesn’t stick. Every once in a while, though, something does, and it leaves a mark. An impression, a reference point. These moments usually evoke a distinct feeling or emotion in […]
