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

One of the more popular effects these days is the animated slat mask. Basically, it is a seemingly random series of vertical lines of various thicknesses, floating left and right, showing one video inside of them, with a different video showing through them. It is not difficult to reproduce in a basic form.

By Don Levy Who decided that getting your first job is called “breaking in?” The phrase, which also describes a criminal offense, suggests that newcomers must penetrate a secure barrier. The creative industries may appear to be a walled fortress for anyone just starting out, as well as those embarking on a new path in an […]The post Blog: Navigating the path to a new career appeared first on postPerspective - Randi Altman's postPerspective.

Western Digital Adds 5TB, 6TB Drives to Green Line

When it comes to PC storage, SSDs are definitely the sexy choice. However, their one drawback, aside from higher prices compared to their mechanical brethren, is smaller capacities. That’s the one area where mechanical disks still dominate, and Western Digital’s newest units only reinforce that fact.

There’s a good reason for it: it helps readers experience the story through their thoughts and senses instead of the author’s. Masters of literature do this all the time to connect with audiences on a deeper level. You can use video to do this online and get more customers. We’ve already discussed the power of commercial video an...
