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

This week a vigilant member of our Final Cut Pro community alerted me to a video on YouTube that he thought might be mine – but wasn't on my site. I clicked the link and went directly to a recently created YouTube channel, that was, in fact, displaying one of my video tutorials as their own.

Over my years of editing, I am always amused to discover that huge numbers of viewers and listeners of all kinds of media, are not aware of the editing and manipulation that is done.

The other day I was sorting boxes in my basement utility closet aka The Place To Throw Crap I Don't Know Where To Put Until Later. (TPTTCIDKWTPUL) I found an box labelled Edit 2. I opened it and found some of my edit suite decor of my old office from the Citytv building where Access was located from from 2005-2008.

Garret Smith has posted a number of tutorials exploring different methods of text animation in Adobe After Effects. Before we go any further, however, check out Ian Albinson's SXSW presentation, A Brief History of Title Design, which is a great compendium of visually striking titles from over the years...

People think that since we work in dark rooms all day that we are passive-aggressive prickly pears. That we would much rather curse the darkness than light a candle.
