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

11 Top Highlights From Schoonmaker's Masterclass

April 22, 2014, 12:49 PM

It's no surprise that Thelma Schoonmaker was the Tribeca Film Festival's choice for a panel about editing in film. Few editors have had more fruitful collaborations than the one between Schoonmaker and Martin Scorsese, which began in 1967 on "Who's That Knocking on My Door" and resumed in 1980 with "Raging Bull." Schoonmaker has edited all of Scorsese's features since that LANdmark, but for "The Cutting Room: An Insight to the Edit Suite" masterclass that took place over the weekend in New York,...

Finding the Bigger World of Post-Production

April 21, 2014, 07:22 AM

http://blogs.creativecow.net/blog/13461/finding-th...

When I headed to the NAB Show last week(ish), part of my (personal) mission was to learn a little more about companies I didn’t know much about. Not just ask someone or read some Wikipedia stuff, but actually get to know what their missions are in post-production right now. I found that if I just went up to an industry peer and asked about Grass Valley, they’d give me a bit of “oh, they’re still around?” I mentioned to someone that I had just been to a Quantel press conference and they...

PVC at NAB 2014 - DaVinci Resolve Gets More Edit F

Sure Blackmagic Design had important new camera surprises (covered here by Matt) but it was the new features of DaVinci Resolve that most caught my eye. Why? Because they have added even more editorial tools to Resolve v11 and are building it into what looks to be a quite capable editor.
