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

FCG030 – The Cranky Editor (feat. James Miller)

March 21, 2014, 07:34 AM

http://digitalcinemacafe.com/2014/03/21/fcg030-the...

This interview was without a doubt the most fun I’ve ever had on The Grill. You may know him as The Cranky Editor, or Chairman Meow. James Miller has been using Final Cut Pro since Version 1 but avoided FCPX until January of this year. He has a very interesting story in which he claims the biggest motivation for jumping the FCPX was actually Premiere Pro. I promise you’ll love this episode.

I used to think so. But no. It wasn’t until I recently read How to Steal Like An Artist by Austin Kleon, that I finally ‘got it’. And by ‘it’ I mean a hugely important piece of advice that all artists should know: stealing is okay.

The lack of “a recognition of prior learning” is one of the disadvantages of using FCPX and yet, on Alister Robbie’s first FCPX just 3 days into his edit he found himself 4 days ahead of schedule. Alister has PLENTY to say and shares his virtually pre-release experience with Final Cut Pro 1.0 back in 1999 all the way to FCPX.

DCC041 – Thinking Aloud (feat. Robert Rippberger

February 26, 2014, 05:49 AM

http://digitalcinemacafe.com/2014/02/26/dcc041-thi...

Horror films from a philosophical perspective. Yea, I bet you never thought of that. Producer, Directory, Writer Robert Rippberger is one of those truly deep thinkers and yet, also a true fan of the horror genre. His interesting views of Kubrick, the Cohen Brothers and Sam Raimi offer up a very interesting conversation that I bet you never would have thought you would hear on DCC.
