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

Color Grading Just Got Way More Affordable

We all know that you can play around with color grading for free with the Lite version of DaVinci Resolve. But even though the controls are very intuitive, what if you wanted a lot more control? That would require creation of a dedicated workstation for color grading. Would that break the bank? Well, the Tangent Ripple won’t, it’s a dedicated entry level color control panel that can not only grade your film, but do it for under $350.

At IBC this past September, Tangent showed working prototypes of its Ripple panel — a new entry level offering designed for the occasional colorist, editor and student — and came away with a few suggestions that they incorporated into the final product. Ripple features three tracker balls that speed up primary grading. It is lightweight and offers a footprint small enough to sit beside your keyboard and mouse without getting in the way. Here are the recent changes that Tangent made to ...

That BertLUT ArriLook 709 for Sony FS7 Side by Sid

Bert Degraeve came up with two excellent LUTs (Standard and FilmLike) for the Sony FS7 which attempts to emulate the Arri color space. While the FS7 might not be an Alexa, it’s a pretty great camera for the price and Burt’s LUTs really elevated the color game for the FS7. A poor man's Alexa.

DaVinci Resolve 12.2 Released Plus $499 Studio Ver

December 23, 2015, 11:16 AM

http://eriknaso.com/2015/12/23/davinci-resolve-12-...

DaVinci Resolve 12.2 is out today and comes with a few updates. The full list is below. A standout is H.265 support but it’s listed as Studio only on OS X. Not sure if that is a typo or it is just available with the paid version. If it isn’t we might be seeing more separation now with the free vs. paid options.

The Changing Impact of Color in Video & How to App

December 16, 2015, 01:09 PM

Color is a simple concept for everyone to grasp, even if they don’t understand color engineering or science. Compared to other technical fields—for example, computer security—you can talk about color with lots of people, because everyone can confidently say, ‘that’s red’ or, ‘that’s reddish-orange,’ and can answer questions like ‘What’s your favorite color?’ People are willing to discuss color and color associations even when they don’t know anything technical.
