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

A Discussion on Tape, Tapeless and Shooting Ratios

March 27, 2011, 07:29 PM

http://www.studiodaily.com/blog/?p=6001

There’s a great post over at the blog Little Frog in Hi Def that is prompting a discussion that needs to be had, about an issue that everyone in post-production is surely experiencing right now. As film and tape have given way to tapeless formats, we’re seeing a lot (often a whole lot) more footage come in with jobs also requesting those cuts within the same turnaround time (or maybe less) as we had for smaller jobs before.

On some possessions we place priceless sentimental value. We can't imagine living without them. But beauty can be in the eye of the beholder, as is the case in this short film about a guy and a shirt, called The Rock Shirt (<-- watch in glorious HD at this link, or embedded below).

No More HDCAMSR Stock! Now What?

March 26, 2011, 06:21 PM

http://provideocoalition.com/index.php/editingpost...

Terence and Philip start discussing the tape shortage crisis – particularly HDCAM SR – caused by the situation in Japan: is tape dead, or will it merely lead to a resurgence of D5? Who’s accepting file-based delivery, is that even practical, and who gets to drive the need for tape delivery?
