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

ozDocs came through with an excellent session on the relationship between editors and the rest of the creative team, in which the cutters came from the shadows with a few hard-won home truths. Tina Kaufman was enchanted. We all know the scene. The prizewinning director at the awards night gratefully thanks the editor and the wonderful partnership they have formed in the cutting room to craft the winning documentary. And perhaps it has happened this way; after all, it has often been said that...

The Panasonic AF100 records to AVCHD, but with its HD-SDI output, you have the option to output 4:2:2 AVC-Intra when recording to the Panasonic’s AG-HPG20. So what's the difference between the AVCHD and Intra frames? Not a whole lot, at least according to Crews.TV. Check out their great article which shows screen shot differences (like the one above) between the two.

It's often said that "there’s the picture that's written, the picture that's shot and the picture that's edited." So why not write with editing in mind? Here are six practical ways:

When you’re working with high resolution RED media in a high-definition world then one of the advantages of the original 4K image is the ability to reframe shots in post due to the different sizes of the acquired image. You can quite literally create entirely new shots without any softening of the image since the resolution is there. It can be accomplished in RED’s free software Redcine-X though I have to admit it took me a bit of time to figure out how to do it.

For one of three spots it posted for a new Bud Light campaign — Playbook, starring Carl Weathers as a football coach and Bud enthusiast — Asylum created stereo 3D VFX depicting popcorn flying out of a car's dashboard heater vents and a fire effect coming from a grill tucked under the car's hood. The result, "Pimp Your Ride," is a signature Bud Light spot with a difference — it uses depth effects to enhance a tongue-in-cheek atmosphere. Watch the spot below, then read the Q&A with Asylum's....
