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

New Zealand researches have successfully restored a 65 year old recording of computer-generated music, created on a gigantic contraption built by British genius Alan Turing. Turing, who’s best known as the father of computing who broke the WWII Enigma code, was also a musical innovator. But his pioneering work in the late 1940s on transforming […]

Sunday Sound Thought 39 – Inherent Spatializatio

As the year continues, many of these posts will be philosophical in nature. Some will be in contradiction to previous postings. These are not intended as truths or assertions, they’re merely thoughts…ideas. Think of this as stream of consciousness over a wide span… I’ve been working on a 360/VR short, and also been testing various […]

Audio Splits and Stems in Premiere Pro

When TV shows and feature films are being mixed, the final deliverables usually include audio stems as separate audio files or married to a multi-channel video master file or tape. Stems are the isolated submix channels for dialogue, sound effects and music. These elements are typically called DME (dialogue, music, effects) stems or splits and […]

Completing James Horner’s Magnificent 7 Themes

When composer James Horner tragically died last year, it was a huge blow to the movie industry. The two-time Oscar-winning composer was responsible for creating many iconic pieces of film music ranging from Titanic to Braveheart to A Beautiful Mind along with too many others to mention here. Look over his full resume and be amazed. However, even though he died before filming began on Antoine Fuqua’s The Magnificent Seven, you’ll notice he’s listed as doing the music along with Simon Frangl...

Now that we can tick at a constant interval, we can add rhythm and pitch into the mix. To make interesting melodies, harmonies, and rhythmic parts, let’s make a step sequencer. This lesson will go into the details of creating a reusable step sequencer that we can use to control our samplers. Lesson 4 – […]

Dealing with external production issues

Let’s consider (for the next 178 words) the production process as a river, and we are a drop of water flowing from the beginning of the project to the end. Like every other drop of water, we have a goal: to make it to the end of the river. And as a single drop of water, there […]

Unlimited access to ad-free comedy — that’s what NBCUniversal is offering with Seeso, their subscription-based streaming service available online and via Roku or Amazon Fire TV. You can watch late night reruns of Jimmy Fallon, classic SNL episodes, or Monty Python films. But more importantly, you can watch original series, like The Cyanide & Happiness Show, an animated comedy that’s equal parts clever and crude. A comedy series where even the end credits provide comedic jewels (of the fami...
