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

To catch folks up, we negotiated a new three-year contract with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers just shy of a month ago. Good fun was had by all. (And if you believe that, I bring you world peace on an engraved silver platter.)

The art and science of using consumer technology this way is known as Mobile Journalism. There are blogs, Twitter hashtags and conferences on the subject. Final Cut Pro X is the editing software 'for the rest of us' - designed for professionals in many fields as well as editing. That means broadcast news organisations are tra...
6 Easy Steps for Logging Footage
July 24, 2015, 12:00 PM

No matter what type of production you do, at some point you will need to go through and log the footage and ready it for editing. This practice holds true for narrative, documentary, commercial, and industrial. There are some that I’ve met over the years who do not take the time to run through this process, and in the end their project suffers because of it.

Behind VFX Horrors

"Head count" takes on a whole new meaning in The Strain, Guillermo del Toro's chilling vampire series that launched its second season on FX earlier this month. Ancient creatures have infected Manhattan with an especially virulent strain of blood-suckiness, and the only way Romanian beast-hunter Abraham Setrakian (David Bradley) can stop the beasts is by decapitating them with a giant sword. "At the end of the first season, they went into a night club and lopped off something like 15 heads in two...
