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

Zoom H2n Review — A Portable Storyteller

Whenever I meet someone who’s keen in getting into post audio the most common thing they mention is that if they had the right tools, only then they would be able to break into the industry. While we tend to associate higher quality with higher price, this relationship is not always accurate and for sound that is no exception. It’s […]

The H.265/HEVC state of play

June 1, 2017, 12:38 PM

http://alex4d.com/notes/item/h-265-state-of-play

Apple seem pretty quiet when it comes to blessing the H.265 codec. It is a codec dedicated to better quality for large raster video at lower bandwidths. These kind of codecs are needed for 4K broadcast and streaming, and are useful for 360º/VR video distribution. Like DV, HDV and H.264, new codecs are designed to be efficient using hardware that is expected to be commonly available a few years after launch. That means that H.265 (aka HEVC or ‘High Efficiency Video Coding’) algorithms ...

ModMic 5 and RØDE HS2: comparing two head microph

For many years, I have been intrigued with microphones, and one particular type is the head mounted variety. Few head mounted mics I have tested before today sound great without post equalization. Today, I am going to compare two which share as many similarities as differences, from their respective prices, connections, polar patterns, and ways of mounting onto your head. They are the ModMic 5 and RØDE HS2. Ahead, I’ll describe them and you’ll be able to hear my test recordings, with a refe...

The power of one-to-one engagement in 360-degree v

It’s June 2017, and we are just over three years into the consumer immersive storytelling revolution that was kickstarted by Facebook’s purchase of the virtual reality headset maker Oculus Rift for nearly $3bn (more than the $2bn first reported). The industry faces big challenges (of public awareness about the technology and how to find and consume it as part of daily life), while at the same time offering great opportunities to content makers everywhere.
