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

WWDC is right around the corner and Apple will most likely be unveiling a new version of OS X. Here's what we'd like to see. HEVC / H.265 support H.265 (also known as HEVC), promises to halve the bitrate of its predecessor, H.264. This means that you can deliver the same video at half the bandwidth, or alternatively double the quality within the same bandwidth. This could greatly increase the popularity of 4K video on the web. The problem so far has been a legal one - instead of h...

Editing is a craft that each editor approaches with similarities and differences in style and technique. If you follow my editor interviews or those at Steve Hullfish’s Art of the Cut series, then you know that most of the top editors are more than willing to share how they do things. This post will go […]

In just a few days we are going to have the treat of the latest Pixar film, Finding Dory. I for one am extremely excited for the film, and have every reason to believe it will be another great entry from Pixar.

In X-MEN: APOCALYPSE, the ancient mutant En Sabah Nur (Oscar Isaac) coerces fellow mutant Erik Lehnsherr (Michael Fassbender) into using his magnetic field and metal manipulation powers to cause global mayhem. The resulting destruction was realized on-screen with complex, yet carefully directed, effects simulations that replicated the look of magnetic fields. One Perfect Shot goes behind the scenes of the Bryan Singer film with two of the vfx studios behind the destruction, Digital Domain and ...

When Steven Spielberg finished a rough cut of Schindler’s List, he brought composer John Williams, his veteran collaborator and longtime friend, into his projection room to screen the 1993 Holocaust drama and discuss their strategy for the score. Together, they watched the film, but when it was over, Williams was overwhelmed and not quite ready to speak.
