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

It’s All in Your Head…

Have you ever stopped to consider the fact that all of the sounds we hear in our life are actually the result of post-processing in our brains? That what you hear might not actually be what the person next to you hears? The combination and coordination of organs that goes into the interpretation of fluctuations in atmospheric pressure is truly a marvel. We’ve given ourselves a pretty hefty challenge this month; we’re going to be focusing on Psychoacoustics. It’s not an easy subject to appr...

Evolution is supposed to happen gradually – biologically speaking, a few thousand years is a nice brisk pace for major changes to unfold.

We’re always on the lookout for great technology popping up on Kickstarter, and here’s one that musicians and sound designers are gonna love. It’s called the Mikme, and it’s a small black box that produces high quality sound at the touch of a button.

When the Disney strike of 1982 ended and the story artists returned to their respective work spaces in the animation building, Basil of Baker Street was still running along two sets of tracks. There were storyboards filled with gags and character bits, and boards filled with plot points.

Special Effects Enliven Exodus Epic

Ridley Scott’s “Exodus: Gods and Kings” is every bit as extravagant as you’d expect, the epic story of Moses in Egypt now viewable through 3D glasses. But get ready for a spoiler: the Red Sea doesn’t open up like a zipper, the way it famously did in “The Ten Commandments” in 1956. Mr. Scott and his team decided to ditch the holy staff that Charlton Heston waved to part the waters for the fleeing Hebrew people.

Is anyone surprised that Disney would be working on a sequel of the hit movie?

The 25 best Oscar-winning film scores of all time

Musical theorist Michel Chion coined the term "synchresis" to define the forging of picture and sound, the way artistry on both sides of the line blurs into our favorite movie moments. Sound design can manifest and warp reality, but film scoring has its own synchresistic effect, albeit one that's rather bizarre.

Creating a Storyboard in Final Cut Pro X

How do you tell a visual story without any visuals? This week on MacBreak Studio, Steve Martin from Ripple Training shows us how to do exactly that. Final Cut Pro X contains a collection of generators: "generated" content that you can use in your projects. These...
