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

Richard Gale's humorously named lens-modification company Dog Schidt Optics has found great success offering filmmakers glass that gives the often clinical and sterile look of digital video a bit of organic soul. However, it's not always practical to use old prime lenses with fixed apertures and "baked-in" optical "flaws." So we've created a plugin for Final Cut Pro X that offers the option of adding a similar organic feel at the postproduction stage. In honour of Richard's pioneering D.S.O. bra...

The big effects-heavy launch trailer for Angry Birds 2 came out yesterday. Like some high-end TV commercials and music videos made in London, much of the post production was done using Final Cut Pro X. This is true of big commercials for Perrier and Sony as well as this high profile campaign for Sport England. As elsewhere in the world of post, in London using Final Cut Pro X is seen as not being “the professional’s choice.” The irony is that some of the established big post companie...
