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

Interview: John Ottman of “X-Men: Days of Future

I last talked to editor/composer John Ottman about “Jack the Giant Slayer” and loved hearing about his unique combination of roles, often working with his former classmate, director Bryan Singer. They collaborated again on X-Men: Days of Future Past and it was a pleasure to catch up with him to discuss the challenges as both editor and composer of working with so many characters and two different time periods.
Taking a Risk and Failing

Any creative person has to accept risk and the risk of failure. Not accepting risk will mean that your work will remain mediocre. Failure is part of the process of expanding your skill set and becoming better at whatever it is you do. It isn’t always pleasant, nor is it easy to deal with, but if you learn from that failure, it can be a building block that propels you on to even greater success. Looking back, I have found that I learn more from my failures than I do from my successes.

Je me demande d’où vient le plaisir que j’ai à monter des séquences dans lesquelles se trouve de la musique filmée. Ou tout simplement à monter, penser, et travailler la musique même quand elle ne pré-existe pas dans la situation … Lire la suite →

5 Essential Everyday Mac OS X Shortcuts
May 26, 2014, 07:13 PM
http://www.macprovideo.com/hub/mac-osx/5-essential...
OS X has a large and impressive list of "hidden" shortcuts meant to make your life easier. Most of us do know about some of them, but I don't think there is one person that could know all of them. Mainly because each of us use our Macs in our very own ways, and the shortcuts and features that someone swears by may not be of much interest to you.
