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

Editors looking for an alternative to Apple Final Cut Pro view Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 as the logical choice, but there's more to this release than a hypothetical FCP 8. I've reviewed and used each version of the Creative Suite for many years and Premiere Pro is one of the few NLEs where each new...

A continuation on my "Cautionary Tales of an FCP Switcher." Getting Caught Up on our Series As mentioned at the end of the original article, we moved our PBS series over the Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 with the reasoning that if we had to flatten a file at the end of the editing process...

OK, it was only half a week. I received the drive via UPS on Wed, a 3GB OWC drive with eSATA and FW800 connections, and began my cut. Actually, I began on Tuesday by reading the script. it is 98 pages long. That normally indicates that the end product will be 98 min too, as...

Last week Apple released the all new Macbook Pro Retina, with a gorgeous new screen the latest generation of Intel processors via Ivy Bridge, and a flash drive. Gone are Ethernet ports, Firewire, and DVD Drive. The machine does look pretty sleek. But with the lack of ports and higher entry price of USD2199.00 US...

I’ve shared quite a bit of camera information lately, so I thought it was time to come back with another short film. All too often science fiction films rely on certain crutches to tell a story, forgetting that storytelling relies on all of the other aspects of filmmaking technique to succeed. The chilling and gruesome mutations are the main attraction, but the rest of the technique is what keeps The Gate, from Matt Westrup, chilling and powerful through its entirety.

A classic upon its release, the title sequence to Ghost in the Shell is a curious mix of 8-bit type animation, then-hi-tech CGI, dreamy anime and naked torsos, all set to composer Kenji Kawai’s intimidating, minimalist score. It follows the construction of a cyborg from the inside out, first embracing a cold, tech-heavy aesthetic as the robot’s inner-core is assembled, feathering into softer imagery and warmer colors as the cyborg takes on a more human form, soon emerging from the mechanical...

We are pleased to finally launch our redesign, which has been in production for the last six months. Working from initial UX designs by friend of the site Sabih Mir, the team at New Zealand-based design studio Cactuslab has done an outstanding job in all areas, producing a site better than anything we could have possibly imagined. Our sincere thanks go out to Matthew Buchanan, Karl von Randow, Mike Harding, Ryan Maxwell and the rest of the Cactuslab team.

Great tutorial using motion paths. I see it as ways to reuse and not reinvent the wheel every time.
