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

As the year continues, many of these posts will be philosophical in nature. Some will be in contradiction to previous postings. These are not intended as truths or assertions, they’re merely thoughts…ideas. Think of this as stream of consciousness over a wide span… One of the podcasts I listen to is The Naked Scientists, and […]

Diaphragmatic absorption is about the 3 D's: Density, Depth, Dimension. Cabinet density, cabinet depth, and dimension or surface area required within your room, all contribute to the absorption rates and levels that can be achieved.

Arrival is one of 2016’s best movies, an intelligent and humane science fiction epic powered by big ideas that ultimately reveals a big, beautiful, and deeply heartfelt soul. And the soundtrack to those ideas, the key to that soul, comes courtesy of composer (and two-time Academy Award nominee) Jóhann Jóhannsson.

Artificial intelligences are encroaching upon professions once thought immune to automation. Expert systems now write economic bulletins, prepare law papers and compose music. Neutron, iZotope’s new plug-in, doesn’t quite try to muscle out the mixing engineer, but it does provide tools that attempt to make the process easier, more reproducible and, most importantly, quicker.

Want to get that big city radio announcer sound on your own voice. Professional radio stations often use Optimod compressors and multiple studio processors to achieve this huge sound. You can create a similar effect right inside Adobe Audition.
