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

Apparently wanting to do something simultaneously classy and lowbrow, in 1895 Thomas Edison staged the February 8, 1587 execution of Mary Stuart, the Scottish Queen and wife of Henry VIII.

One of the things that mastering pros complain about is that so few mixers actually think about how the things they do while mixing might affect mastering. Mastering is the final creative place in the production process where a mix can be altered, but the mix won't necessarily be improved unless you help the mastering engineer out by following some very simple tips when you're mixing.

The film is an action spectacular with impressive visuals that could have only been brought to life through a collaboration between the visionary filmmaker and Industrial Light & Magic.

MambaFX, Colorway, Stickey Paint, Silhouette, Conform Studio, Inkscape and Plexus If you’re an editor that can do more than just cut, these motion graphics apps may be worth checking out. Some you’ve probably heard of but I’m guessing more than a few, […]

Can't believe it's nearly time for IBC and that means it's also nearly time for the Amsterdam Supermeet. Top of the bill so far are the two editors working on the new Star Wars film.

We've been fans of stop-motion guru PES for a while now—giddily typing in a flurry every time he announces a new project, such as his recent Kickstarter campaign to fund an upcoming feature about making sandwiches (out of vintage sports gear, naturally). Yesterday, the animator stepped out from behind his props to talk with fans in a Reddit AMA about avocado grenades and other claymation creativity.

You may want to be careful about the conversations you hold in the future; if you're near a window, someone might be listening in. A team of researchers from Adobe, Microsoft and MIT have developed a visual microphone algorithm that picks up audio by looking for microscopic vibrations in video footage.

The competition is open to anyone, whether you’re a student or working in the industry. What we’ll be looking for is great Action, Thinking Character and strong Body Mechanics. The public will vote for the best shot (right after entry deadline for 1 week) and the winner will be critiqued by one of the best instructor over at iAnimate.net!
