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

Cinematic storytelling: A podcast on narrative

September 21, 2014, 04:29 PM

http://www.davidbordwell.net/blog/2014/09/21/cinem...

The Wolf of Wall Street (2013). DB here: Michael Neelsen is a filmmaker and consultant based here in Madison. In a discussion on ReelFanatics Michael and I consider some ideas about cinematic storytelling. My allergies gave me some Clintonesque hoarseness, and there are some things I’d rephrase better if I were writing them down, but maybe you’ll [...]

FCG082 – TED Cuts in FCPX? (feat. Michael Glass)

September 19, 2014, 04:28 AM

http://digitalcinemacafe.com/2014/09/18/fcg082-ted...

TED Conferences’ Motto is “Ideas Worth Spreading” and now they are spreading this idea, “FCPX is a powerful tool”. Hear what happened when TED, which turns out TONS of content, decided to go all Final Cut Pro X in New York City. Also, don’t miss the discussion at about 47 Minutes about their export procedures… VERY interesting stuff. We also talk about “Progressive Disclosure”.

FCG070 – An Editor I Trust (feat. Chad Kukahiko)

FCPX can be used in a myriad of ways. Chad Kukahiko of We Make Movies tells us how he, as a director, uses FCPX in many different days in his day to day production environment. We talk a little bit about hard drives and posting in 4K and Chad tells us why “Its good to be Sam’s friend”.

FCG081 – Making Power Simpler (feat. Noam Kroll)

Noam likes to shake things ups and try something new once in a while, which frankly, makes most of us very uneasy. Recently he started taking a long hard look at the quality of the H264 files he was creating and realized that there was a difference between what he got out of FCPX and Compressor and the files he was creating with Media Encoder and the Adobe suite. Do you wanna guess which looked better?

http://digitalcinemacafe.com/2014/09/04/fcg078-7-t...

Many people change from FCP 7 to FCPX but very few do it in the middle of a project. Sam Russell is a college student in Ithaca New York and over the summer he produced “Mississippi Crayfish”, an experimental student film about… well… you need to watch it. Mid stream, Sam decided to switch to FCPX. Today we’ll take a long look at his decisions and see what motivated him. We’ll also hear from the audience via voicemail and discuss Motion vs. After Effects.
