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

Showdown: USB versus standard XLR mics

May 8, 2014, 04:44 PM

http://postperspective.com/showdown-usb-vs-standar...

By Ron DiCesare When USB microphones were first introduced, it reminded me of when MP3s first came out. I thought it was just another case of convenience over quality. The first few USB mics I came across were great at offering a simple and direct way to record into your computer, but they suffered in […]The post Showdown: USB versus standard XLR mics appeared first on postPerspective - Randi Altman's postPerspective.

OMG YOU GUYS (and GALS) THE BLOG IS A YEAR OLD TODAY! Shout out to my old co-worker who sat next to me the day I said, “LOL look at this .gif [insert argument about how .gif is pronounced, it ended in a stalemate]. This is how I feel right now about [insert whatever we were doing at the time, I can’t remember. Probably grouping. In FCP. !!!!].” *silence* Then, “OMG! I’m gonna start a blog about this!” So I did. And within 24 hours Render Please exploded. Srsly. I got emails fro...

The team at Thecus have created a network-attached storage unit that’s both extremely simple to set up and looks the part of a non-assuming piece of technology. While some NAS units looks like massive hunks of metal, this mostly-plastic unit looks plain, works simply, and does its job well.

Soldier's Take on Guild Membership

... Opponents over the years argued that unions were expensive and with cheap labor in Asia, membership would fall as more and more VFX work at cost sensitive studios like Disney and DreamWorks would be shipped away.
