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

Typically in movie production, the sound mixer also records the sound of the location without any dialog. This recording is known as "room tone". The reason for doing this is so that the sound editors have the background sound that can be inserted to cover discontinuities in the dialog track, caused by the shift in background sound from a close-up to a wide shot, and vice versa, or when the dialog is replaced in post production with ADR.

I’d like you to ask yourself a question: how much have you thought about what goes into good cinematic sound design? Has it ever been in the forefront of your mind? Have you ever stopped to wait for the end credits in order to check out the “Foley Artist” or “Re-recording Mixer?”
