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

‘Jurassic World': dinos find their inner animal

By Jennifer Walden So the makers of Jurassic World are, quite obviously, asking you to suspend your disbelief. This disbelief might just focus on the fact they are asking you to accept that a group of super-positive thinking people (or maybe super-stupid) thought that opening up a theme park where dinosaurs once again roam the earth was a good idea. Especially since it has gone so spectacularly bad at earlier parks featured in earlier movies. Yes, the idea of re-opening the same park again...

How to Create 3D LUTs

July 1, 2015, 12:38 PM

https://www.hurlbutvisuals.com/blog/2015/07/how-to...

My workflow on set is to load all the 3D LUTs that I have created for a feature or TV pilot into my Flanders CM250 OLED lighting monitor. The monitor can hold up to 16 LUTs. I designed a total of sixteen LUTs on Need for Speed, four LUTs for Fathers and Daughters and currently fourteen LUTs for Into the Badlands. Each LUT has to be linked to your specific camera’s sensor to be the most accurate.

Modern Family Editor on the Trickiest Episode

July 1, 2015, 09:24 AM

http://www.thecredits.org/2015/07/modern-family-ed...

Tony Orcena has edited 32 episodes of Modern Family, but the one he gets asked about most was one of the most discussed comedy episodes of 2015. This was the episode that was filmed entirely on a variety of personal devices—phones, computers—as Claire, stuck at an airport, is desperately trying to track down Haley after an argument. “Connection Lost” was a first for television, and it couldn’t have been possible with Orcena’s editing skills.
