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

The habitual manipulators of our emotions at Pixar are readying the release of this weekend’s Inside Out, showcasing psychologically innovative internal storytelling. In the run up to that debut, though, one of the new film’s co-directors has dished on one of the company’s most critically devastating moments in 2009’s Up, revealing that the famous scene was almost cut from the movie!

Automate source file cadence removal with settings. Resulting in clean Progressive Video frames free from blending or ghosting artifacts. The trick is that yes, if speeding up the motion of video to 125% the Avid can throw out every fifth frame. Here is how to control precisely what gets extracted.

I love using music. I use music whenever I can. I use it improperly. I abuse the use of music. I use the wrong type of music. I force music into a edit just because. You should be doing this too. You read that right. Force it, use the wrong music, use it as a bad. Use music as much as you can. It takes time to figure out how to really make music work for a story. Pay attention to how you hear it in film, commercials, documentaries and television shows. When an edit adds music it ...
