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

An open window is a perfect absorber because once sound energy leaves the room through the window, it never returns. Sound absorption and diffusion requirements in small rooms takes careful planning to ensure that you are matching the room usage to the proper rates and levels of absorption and diffusion.

Recording dialogue from set to screen. Record on two channels, one set to 75% and the back-up to 50%. Record 'wild lines' (dialogue recorded on set, off camera), then record 'room tone' (the sound of the room where dialogue was recorded (aka 'fill', to fill in the background sound where needed).

Ceilings have two functions in our music rooms. They are the smallest dimensions and produce the most modal issues and are the most annoying surfaces for unwanted reflections. Using a combination of absorption / diffraction is one method to provide the psycho acoustic benefit of making the ceiling disappear.
