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

Sound Devices Breaks Wireless Game Audio Ltm

April 12, 2018, 06:11 AM

Recently, Sound Devices purchased Audio Limited, a UK manufacturer of wireless microphone systems, and is now offering the A10 wireless audio system. The A10 is a digital-based wireless system with separate transmitter and receiver. It offers a tuning range of 470 to 694 MHz in the U.S., so it's future-proof in terms of the FCC's 600 Bandwith Auction, which sold parts of the 600 MHz band to cellular and cable companies.

Editing & Empathy in Big Little Lies

With four Golden Globes and eight Emmys, HBO's Big Little Lies is one of the best received TV series of 2017. Most of the praise goes towards the outstanding performances by Nicole Kidman and Laura Dern but in this video I'd like to focus on something less obvious - editing. The show takes a unique approach to storytelling which uses editing to evoke feelings and help us empathise with the characters.

Horror Films without the Special Effects

April 9, 2018, 04:18 AM

https://www.aotg.com/horror-films-without-the-special-effects/

Traditionally, horror isn't a genre that depends on digital trickery. Taking a practical approach is often not only cheaper, but more effective when it comes to unnerving an audience—and horror movies rarely enjoy the freedom of a big budget, especially when the big studios aren't involved. Advances in technology in recent years have made convincing visual effects far more accessible, however, to the point that even low-budget productions can take advantage.
