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

When editor Joe Walker worked with director Steve McQueen on the film, Hunger, about Irish republican Bobby Sands leading prison inmates in a hunger strike, the company took a break from shooting for actor Michael Fassbender to lose weight. During that time they fine cut footage that had already been shot. When they resumed production, McQueen went into the final week of shooting with a clearer notion of what he needed to capture. This included not only pick-ups that would augment the story,...

Beaucoup de monteurs tiennent le discours suivant : "les raccords, c’est le cadet de nos soucis ! Les films sont bourrés de faux raccords, ce n’est pas ça qui compte." Je suis assez d’accord. Résumer le montage au travail des … Lire la suite →

On episode FCG006 of FCPX Grill we were discussing how to share Motion templates between machines and I thought it would be a good idea to make a quick tutorial. What this allows you to do is to share graphic templates between your edit suites so everything will look consistent.

Seeing a stack of tapes labeled and ready to gather dust on a shelf is a feeling of accomplishment I’ve never had before last week. Not because I’ve never really had physical copies of any of my work (though outside … Continue reading →

In the past 2 weeks since launching FCPX Grill over on digitalCINEMAcafe.com I’ve been notiing more traffic here on my blog. Oddly enough, the pages that is getting the most traffic is a post I made back in 2011 after the release of Final Cut Pro X (By the way people, it’s pronounced “ten” not “ex”). That post was a list of resources that are of use to someone interested in the new application. However, one thing that is NOT apparent when looking at that page is that, I was NOT a fan...
