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

Google Attempts to Replace H.26X… Again

February 26, 2014, 11:05 AM

http://filmmakermagazine.com/84638-the-future-of-c...

For a second time, Google is attempting to pitch a compression format as the replacement for an H.26X compressor. They tried to do it three years ago for HD video when they pitched VP8 as a replacement for H.264 and had little success. Now they’re back with a new angle: VP9 is the format for 4K, and they are putting it up against H.265, the new 4K compressor that is also referred to as HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding). Should you care?

It is a scary thing leaving the comfort of home to venture into the big bad world, but it is an evolutionary step that must be taken. I, personally, eased my way out, starting with a name: […]

The importance of freelance money management

February 26, 2014, 05:52 AM

http://www.creativebloq.com/business/importance-fr...

Although I absolutely love being a freelancer, and really have very little to complain about, I never imagined that one of the skillsets I would need to cultivate would be that of a money manager. Don't get me wrong, I have more than enough work, and a rate that has always left me with enough to pay the bills, as well as give my family a bit extra. But recently, I found myself in a situation where a hiccup in circumstances threw my finances for a loop and put us in a bit of peril.

Story is King

In editing, the software is the tool, but the magic happens in the storytelling. It doesn’t matter what level of production you are at. From a home movie to a feature film, story is KING. You may “just” make corporate or wedding videos but if you can tell an engaging story while doing so you can create something people can really connect to. I’d much rather watch a 3 minute short film on Youtube, with an excellent story, that was edited with iMovie, then a 2 hour feature edited with Avid...
