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

We're all familiar with creative sound design for narrative films—from the buzz of a lightsaber to the roar of a T. rex. But what about the sound in documentary films? Is there a role for abstract sound to play when your film depicts real events?

This video follows Alex Bishop through the six month process of building an exquisite gypsy jazz guitar from scratch. In that time, the UK based production team Contra shot upwards of 10 hours of footage, which editor Will Hammond cut down into a finely-tuned three-minute film. His process for doing so – strangely enough – mirrors the process of building a guitar. It's slow, methodical, and the beauty lies in the details.

Flint Lockwood is an eccentric young scientist whose awkward demeanor and half-baked inventions - ratbirds, spray-on shoes, and talking monkeys - have made him an outsider in his hometown of Swallow Falls.

Probably the most frequent question I get from editors is about a target level for their audio mix. I hear numbers such as 0 dB, -6, -18, etc., which typically refer to dBFS (decibels relative to full scale) as reflected on the built-in Peak Program Meters (PPM) in their NLE.

Some editors might look for the most perfectly delivered take to put in a movie. But not editor William Kerr, who took the lead editing Amy Schumer-led, Judd Apatow-directed comedy Trainwreck.

Plug-ins are magical, because they allow you to create images and sounds or quickly do things that you just can’t with the basic version of your editing system. Our recent webinar, “3rd-Party Plug-Ins for Final Cut Pro X,” showcased 14 different plug-ins for Final Cut Pro X and illustrated what they can do.

What is being called as “The WETA effect” is the over use of special effects, that many have come to feel, ruins the movie watching experience for them. Animators are worried this taking over films in a not-so-good way.
