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

Building a PC for Post

I am about as big of a fan of Apple as one can be. They got me as a high school sophomore with the red iPod nano, they got me going off to film school with the 15" MacBook Pro, and they even got me as an employee for a few years working at a retail store and then the Genius Bar. I’ve learned the nuts and bolts of macOS, I’ve taught people how to use Apple’s products, I’ve built out Mac-based edit suites, and I eagerly await new product announcements, often watching the keynotes and event...

Folks. The moment has arrived when we need to dump our spinning mechanical drives. They served us well for decades, and still do for our very-high-capacity lowest-cost-per-gig applications like backing up an entire production. But for critical applications like offloading and managing original camera files and remote editing of multiple 4K streams, it really is […] The post SSD for Our Most Critical Applications?

By Jennifer Walden Oscar-winning re-recording mixer Michael Semanick from Skywalker Sound mixed the sound effects, Foley and backgrounds on Star Wars: The Last Jedi, which has earned an Oscar nomination for Sound Mixing. Technically, this is not Semanick’s first experience with the Star Wars franchise — he’s credited as an additional mixer on Rogue One — but on The Last Jedi he was a key figure in fine-tuning the film’s soundtrack.
