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

Opinion: A Pause for 4K Reflection

http://sportsvideo.org/main/blog/2013/11/opinion-a...

The year 2013 may very well be remembered some day as the year when the 4K movement began, but will 2014 be the year it becomes reality? Is 4K destined to be the next 3D or the first 4K? The answer to that question will not be known for a few years, but one large factor may contribute its long-term success: the current inability to deliver 4K content via traditional broadcast, satellite, and cable/telco pipes.

Creative results, like scientific results, mostly arrive out of failure. “If at first you don’t succeed…”. It’s not just some platitude; it’s how things really get done.

Director Alexander Payne first mentioned the script for Nebraska to editor Kevin Tent, ACE, nearly a decade ago when the two were finishing Sideways. Tent, who’s edited all Payne’s features, recalls the director’s summary of the project: it would star Bruce Dern, be black and white and have the feel of Peter Bogdonavich films, particularly The Last Picture Show.

Even if you are extremely busy, selecting the right conference or training session can help you sharpen your skills, move your business forward, and forge new contacts that can pay off in a multitude of ways. Here are some of major things that I think are ...

In Response to In Defense Of Difficult Clients

November 12, 2013, 11:41 AM

https://medium.com/design-startups/51ac911314f4

This morning I read a blog post by Alexander Fox titled In Defense of “Difficult Clients” that was linked to by Art of the Guillotine on Twitter. Like any creative in today’s market I too have had “difficult clients” so I figured I would give it a quick read, hear some familiar stories and smile knowing that I’m not alone. After reading the article I’m frankly shocked that other creatives would put so much stock in their clients to discount their own worth as both creatives and pro...
