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

Control Surfaces for Pro Tools

June 19, 2018, 06:10 AM

https://www.pro-tools-expert.com/home-page/2018/6/...

Ten to fifteen ago control surfaces used to cost a fair amount of money and there really wasn't that many low-cost solutions to choose from either. Of course, there were some affordable offering available back then such as the Digi 003, a couple of 8 fader devices from Mackie and Avid but these all cost upwards of $1,000, not exactly what we would consider these days to be low-cost or budget friendly. Luckily, times have changed. "Low-cost" small form factor control surfaces have come down in pr...

When composer Kris Bowers returned to Netflix‘s “Dear White People” for season two series creator Justin Simien had something different in mind. “He had a color palette that he decided to start using as inspiration from the beginning of the season,” Bowers reveals. The colors came from Civil War-era paintings, and “he asked me … to write a theme based on those color definitions. For instance, blue might represent confinement, and gold might represent true self.” So Bowers was on ...
