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

Meet Hot S*** Music Video Editor Dean Gonzalez pt2

"What do you see as the start of the music video era?" I asked Dean. He believes it began with promos for the Rolling Stones and that then in the 80s every watched Michael & Janet Jackson’s "Scream." "There were a lot of bold, artistic voices," he enthused. "Now, it’s not the artist, it’s the image." He noted that budgets have skyrocketed although you create a low budget music video for a big band for 20K.

Singular Software's PluralEyes is a piece of Final Cut Pro companion software that can automatically sync multiple cameras and audio sources by scanning the audio waveforms. When it arrived I hoped for an Avid version, but predicted that it would never happen.
Grading the Graders: The Long Awaited Part 2
November 13, 2010, 11:53 AM
In reviewing Part 1 of this article, I did notice that I left out one of the more important "pros" of the Baselight system, and that is its directly integrated support for the Truelight color management system. Truelight, like Baselight, is a Filmlight product, and Baselight is designed around the use of that technology for all color management functions, a great advantage. Now.....
Video Editing on the iPad

You can do very basic video editing on the iPod Touch: trimming the beginning or end of your clip. In the Photos app, open the video you want to edit from the Camera Roll album, and then tap the screen to bring up the playback controls, including the frame-viewer bar at the top of the screen.
Terence and Philip Episode 13: Deliverables!

Terry starts the discussion about audio levels and the perception of loudness, in the wake of the recent FCC ruling. This leads to the main discussion of deliverables: aka "pining for PAL vs NTSC"! Formats and deliverable metadata add to the complication that delivering a program has become.

Eisenstein on the Breach

The Battleship Potemkin, or Potemkin as it is generally known, galvanized filmmakers around the world because of the audacity of its film editing––especially in the iconic Odessa Steps massacre. Its impact on editors and directors since its premiere in Moscow on Christmas Eve, 1925 is immeasurable. Though Sergei M. Eisenstein transformed the possibilities of film language and technique far beyond previous expectations, he generously gave credit to American film director D.W. Griffith...

Don’t worry, I’m writing a proper post for today, but since it’s friday, I always think it’s better to kick off with something fun. This is a parody music video that references stuff only nerds will get. I’m a nerd. I get it. It made me laugh. You might not. In which case, read the previous posts in this series. Then you’ll get it. Congratulations you’re now a post nerd. Have a cookie!
