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

In The Style Of Jump Editing

February 24, 2015, 01:52 PM

This is a style that you could use no matter what type of storyteller you are. I call this jump editing. Jump cuts are intentional. There are some rules to jump editing (or guidelines). Are you ever given a story that just screams jump cuts?

The Problem with Animation and the Academy

February 24, 2015, 01:50 PM

It became clear that animation is an overlooked medium within The Academy when Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson presented the award for “Best Animated Feature” Sunday night. Incorrectly labelling animation as a genre, Johnson began to introduce the lineup of animated nominees. The point is, animation is a medium, not a genre. Animation is just a means by which a genre can come alive. When your presenter can’t correctly speak about a category in the most influential film awards show, you know ...

Day 24 #28daysofquicktips - Nesting Audio in Adobe

February 24, 2015, 05:45 AM

http://provideocoalition.com/ssimmons/story/day-24...

Here we go with a reader Quicktip from Jack Bibbo that is for Adobe Premiere Pro. It’s a tip for nesting audio. I do very little nesting of video or audio so this is a good reminder of how PPro nesting works. Jack even made a video to go along with it. Couple this with the tip about making an audio-only multicam sequence and you’ve got some good Premiere tips here. Take it away Jack.
