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

About a month ago we talked about fishing line and what kinds of items you'll want to keep on hand when using it on set for different special effects. Today, we dig into how to use those items to create those effects. In this video from Jay P. Morgan of The Slanted Lens, he covers how to hang, anchor, and choose fishing line for your awesome in-camera levitation effects, as well as a few tricks on how to make the process a whole lot easier.

Stranger Things - Promo Video

A viral video created for Netflix to promote their hit show, Stranger Things. The concept was to create an authentic 1983 newscast that would look as if it could fit perfectly into the show. We wanted to include the typical ‘news pans’ during the broadcast … when the camera pans to create negative space where the picture in picture image will appear, which meant shooting a locked off 16x9 frame size at 4K at 29.97fps. Later in post, this was cropped to 480i to keep frame size of standard d...
