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

The Manhattan Edit Workshop (MEW) continues to grow its reputation as the top spot on the East Coast to learn the editor's craft. So it’s perhaps not unusual that it offers a great service pulling together panels of top-notch working editors who provide insight into how they pull off the latest reality TV show, miniseries or feature. This year’s “Sight, Sound & Story” one-day summit of post-production panels was held June 13 at the NYIT Auditorium on Broadway.

PreVis: Edit 1

In the world of test commercials, all components of a job were once considered "disposable." Today, with agencies and brands focused on smarter and more creative ways of working, companies like Edit 1, traditionally known for our animatic/previs work, are now being utilized as creative partners throughout the entire production process. The result has found our 15-year-old studio taking the 3D animation we created as part of a test commercial and bringing it to completion for the broadcast versio...

After Effects Hidden Gems: Cleaning Up Projects

An After Effects project can fill up quickly with unused items as we try out different sources an ideas. This leaves it in less than ideal condition when it comes time to hand it off to another user, or to archive it for later retrieval. Fortunately, there’s a submenu in After Effects which helps automate cleaning up and archiving a project: File > Dependencies.

If you could tell the director to shoot something differently, what would you tell them?
