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

ModMic 5 and RØDE HS2: comparing two head microph

June 1, 2017, 12:38 PM

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...

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.

Sound Devices MixPre-3 first impressions

May 31, 2017, 05:57 PM

http://www.danmccomb.com/sound-devices-mixpre-3-fi...

When the Sound Devices MixPre-3 announcement dropped at NAB 2017, I got excited. For years I’ve been dreaming about a device as small as my original MixPre, but with built-in recorders. Could this be it? I hit the pre-order button but didn’t expect to actually hold one in my hands until summer, despite Sound Devices promising delivery before the end of the month. So when this box from B&H arrived with a couple of days to spare, I was thrilled...

Tutorial - Using Mocha VR to Stabilize 360 Video

May 31, 2017, 12:57 PM

When watching video in VR, the viewer is more susceptible to motion sickness than if you were to watch on a monitor or projector. Wobbly motion is seen, but not felt by the headset user which confuses the brain and therefore can cause the stomach to empty. Ask my friends!
