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

Perhaps the most notable bit of trivia about The Hateful Eight—that has nothing to do with the script—is that it’s the first Quentin Tarantino film that features an original score. With the director’s first two features, Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction, he favored using rock and roll tracks that played on the radios or loudspeakers that the characters were listening to. Many of these needle drop moments were instantly iconic, such as the “Stuck in the Middle with You” torture scene i...

How to make your Dragon Abstract Dragons have a very important role in fantasy stories and have become a staple of animation and visual effects in live action movies and videogames.

Can you imagine for a second what it would be like without proper storage in our datacentric production and post world? Anarchy! To say it’s a big part of the puzzle would be an understatement. postPerspective, which covers storage news, technology and usage in a variety of ways, recently reached out to Scale Logic, which provides RAID, SAN and NAS, among other archiving solutions. Some of you might remember that Minneapolis-based Scale Logic Inc. grew out of what was once Rorke Da...

Transporting footage from set, between editors and for final delivery has been necessary since the dawn of filmmaking. While the digital filmmaking era has made much of the post-production process easier and brought many new creative possibilities, the critical step of moving assets between people and locations hasn’t improved at all for most smaller media teams. For many of them, the default option is still “put it on a drive”, which is a process that impacts the bottom line in variou...

In what started as a stage play written by Charlie Kaufman, the stop-motion animated feature Anomalisa took over two years to finish before its Dec. 30 release date – even a successful Kickstarter campaign encouraged it to see the light of day.

Virtual reality is incomplete without immersive audio. Even though you might be able to strap on a headset and be visually transported, the absence of 3D audio can quickly break your illusion. With stores getting ready to stock VR headsets this year, the need for an audio experience that can match, and even enhance, the visuals is more pressing than ever. Today at CES, Sennheiser announced AMBEO, a 3D audio technology that promises to change the way audio is captured and reproduced.
