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

Is Premiere letting you down? You aren’t alone. When I heard that Paul Joy had moved back to FCPX after several years of working in Premiere, I thought it would be a good chat to have here on The Grill. We also discuss Smart Collections, the Multicam Clip Editor as well as After Effects RAM Preview.

I recently had the pleasure of talking to Chris Fenwick from the FCP Grill podcast about why I chose to move from Premiere Pro over to FCPX. I always enjoy listening to Chris’ podcasts so it was really tough remembering that I needed to talk back to him from time to time!

When The Bourne Ultimatum won the Oscar for Best Editing in 2007, it became the film was the most rapid cutting ever to receive the award in the history of the Academy (its average shot length was 2.1 seconds). By contrast, the winner of the Palme d’Or at Cannes that same year, 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days had an average shot length of 90 seconds. The first film is an intense and relentlessly paced action picture while the second is an intense and carefully paced drama, which might suggest tha...

Spacial Conform, Multicam and Editorial Peer Pressure, just part of what we discuss with Kes Akalaonu, the NLE Ninja. Kes is a Chicago based, editor, podcaster and YouTube tutorial ninja and always has unique, fresh insight on the editorial world. Recently I caught wind that he was embracing the X and thought it was time to have in on “The Grill”.

Field production can be tough: managing shoots, carrying heavy equipment, getting covered in thick spider webs. Uhm, what? Yeah, I think I’ll stay in my edit suite. In this very educational Track Matte Moment, Tim Wilson tells the tale of a very eventful day spent in the Everglades in the 90s when he was still [...]
