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

Import RED media into Avid MC6 using ALE

There are a few ways of importing RED media into the Avid depending on your workflow and if the DIT is providing transcoded media. RED source files contain a lot of metadata which is useful during certain phases of post production. Because AAF and MXF media don’t retain this information once transcoded, an Avid Log...

Adventures in Stereography

The late Ray Zone’s work with stereoscopic images goes back to converting flat images into 3D for comic books and graphic novels. As a hands-on practitioner, this led him to 3D work for television and motion pictures, and, as a writer, to his unique place as a groundbreaking journalist and historian of stereoscopic films and their technical evolution. This background has given the “3D King of Hollywood” a privileged view of the developments in stereoscopic cinema as the entertainment...

In the Edit Suite or the Batter’s Box

January 18, 2013, 01:15 PM

In late November, soon after the death of Marvin Miller, the longtime executive director of the Major League Baseball Players Association, I handed an editor a check. These two events — Miller’s death and the editor’s payment — were unconnected to one another, except to the extent that the editor’s remarks upon receipt of the money served to remind me of the lessons we might still learn from the recently deceased union man.

What are the little things that make your work life a simpler and happier place? For me, it’s without a doubt my Wacom Intuos tablet and my iPhone’s free recording app. Now, if it would just come with a free transcription tool or a personal assistant who would transcribe for me... But I digress.

Review: Divergent Media's ScopeBox

January 18, 2013, 01:09 PM

http://www.postmagazine.com/Publications/Post-Maga...

We all see how desktop computers revolutionize every aspect of our industry, but the “last frontier” of video technology is accurate signal monitoring. High-quality cameras are more affordable than ever, but cinematographers need tools to carefully monitor the images they capture. Professional color grading is now within the realm of boutique shops and individuals, but no colorist can work without a good set of scopes. Master delivery requires as much attention to video levels as ever in...

Do you know what a DIT (digital imaging technician) does on a feature-film set? Come to our next In Person event on Tuesday, January 29th to find out about this important if little remarked upon craft. That’s when Dave Satin presents and leads a discussion about just what goes into his work as a DIT on the set of top features and commercials in New York City.
