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

Tips on Recording Bomb Audio with a Handheld Recor

January 17, 2018, 04:46 AM

Capturing good audio is just as (if not more) important as capturing good images. Lavalier and shotgun mics are great options because they allow you to not only get close to the source of your audio but they are designed to stay out of or hidden inside the frame. However, if you don't have either of these types of mics (in which case, you should definitely think about investing in them), an inexpensive handheld recorder, like the Zoom H1 or H4n, works really well as long as you know how to posit...

Building a low cost Pro Tools Host Computer

If your income depends on the tools you use day in day out, then it's vitally important to have a Plan B. For the last few years my Plan B has been my 2011 MacBook Pro i7 2.2GHz, pimped with 16GB RAM and 256GB SSD. Having a six-year-old machine, albeit state of the art in its time, as my primary backup was starting to become an issue.

Sunday Sound Thought #100: The Benefits of Unique

January 14, 2018, 07:20 PM

I’ve been reading a book in my spare time called How to Win Friends & Influence People, by Dale Carnegie, and have been shocked by how applicable the book’s lessons are to everyday life. Carnegie’s thoughts and experiences are more than just useful for people running companies or trading stocks; they are important for us, […]

New to Pro Tools, Use the power of Session Templat

January 12, 2018, 07:57 AM

The way I like to start new Pro Tools Sessions are, from what I call, "blank canvases" - see images below. Pro Tools is second nature to me, I don't find it a problem starting any new production from these bare grey windows, however, those new to Pro Tools who just want to get a song started may find these empty Edit and Mix windows a bit off-putting.
