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

Have you ever wondered how a digital camera actually "sees" color and translates it into information that can be recorded? A Color Matrix describes the balancing of different parts of the color spectrum in order to create an accurate representation for capture.

Instant Gratification

Closure. Its a simple enough idea, but it doesn't always come when or how we expect. As an editor and as a filmmaker, it's an idea I've been wrestling with for a while. You invest yourself in a certain story for years, but when is it time to close the book and move onto the next project?

(In Spanish) Juan Martinez Moreno, director of the film, said: Thank God I have the great good fortune to have the invaluable help of my editor, Nacho Ruiz Capillas (The Others, Agora, Intacto, Los Lunes al Sol, ...). Despite being friends for over ten years, had never worked together and, if he wants, whenever you repeat a film roll. If I roll another go.

Continuing with the 180 Degree Rule

My last post explained the 180 Degree rule. It also stated that crossing the line can disorient an audience and that directors film shots from both sides of the line. How does the editor cut from one side of the line to another and use the director's angles to tell the story without disorienting the audience?

The languages of NAB

I don't really speak any languages. I like to think I remember some of my cumulative 5 years of French, and because I'm half French, that I have a genetic predisposition to know it, but I'll be honest. I suck at it.
