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

Here’s an in-depth article on the ins and outs of pairing a monitor/recorder – like these from Atomos – with your DSLR camera. Beyond the obvious benefit of a larger preview of your footage, a field monitor and recorder “can’t improve the level of detail that your camera initially captures, they leverage the fact that Read More The post Why You Want to Shoot with an External Recorder/Monitor appeared first on Videoguys Blog.

Pro Media Tools 1.6 - Auto Transfer metadata overh

We've just released Pro Media Tools 1.6, a major update to our suite of media management tools for video professionals. The focus of this release was our camera memory card offloading tool, Auto Transfer. Reel detection Auto Transfer will now automatically detect the reel name from RED volumes so you don't have to enter it manually. If you add leading zeroes (e.g. 001) to the default reel number it will now respect them when detecting or incrementing the reel number. Metadata overh...
'Arrival,' 'Dunkirk' and the Distraction of Nonlin

When people tell me to just turn my brain off and enjoy a movie, I wish that it were so easy. I’ve been trained to overthink films as I watch them. I have two degrees in the study of cinema. I can’t ignore what I know or how I’ve been wired to always analyze images I’m seeing on screen as they’re cut together any more than a mechanic can stare at a puttering motor and pretend not to know how to fix it.

To help convey the “visceral realism” of Christopher Nolan’s “Dunkirk,” the director needed an intense soundscape for the legendary evacuation of more than 300,000 British and Allied troops under German bombardment.
The Visual Affects of Reality

Two days after wrapping on the $65 million dollar budget film Pete’s Dragon, David Lowery headed home to Texas to make a small film (literally, the aspect ratio is 1.37:1) with a group of friends called A Ghost Story. The budget? $100,000. In itself, the budget is a good marker of how different the films are. And yet in both films, Lowery uses visual effects in a very calculated and affecting way, two qualities that are often lacking in effects-heavy films nowadays. Indeed, many an article has...
