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

At IBC Avid unveiled Media Composer 6.5, a product that is best described as an incremental upgrade that should make existing Avid users happy, but probably isn't going to win any new converts. If you are an Avid user, this review by Scott Simmons should help you sort out whether the USD500 upgrade fee is warranted.

I'm working on a project that uses a good bit of simple animations of line drawings. It's all done in Motion and the Link parameter behavior is vital. This tutorial will show you how I created pulsating audio speakers that react to actual audio. This is a detailed, involved tutorial, but once done you’ll see it's much easier than it sounds (no pun intended).

The Nature of Movie Dialogue ? For many years I've been puzzling over the nature of movie dialogue and how it works. Anyone who's ever tried to write a screenplay will tell you that dialogue is deceptively difficult to get right. If they think it's easy, they probably haven't yet heard actors struggling through their...
