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

At the turn of the year I was working another gig where I give introductory workshops on audio/midi editing using a computer. These workshops are about 2h long & geared towards people who have zero knowledge about audio & using any DAW. The age limit was >10y & my oldest participant was born in 1933. […]

As professional storytellers, we understand how audiences understand our intentions as filmmakers. We exploit the cinematic crafts like music, sound, direction, and wardrobe, to communicate genre. Is our story a drama or a comedy? Appropriate titles, set design, framing, and composition can all … more » The post Review: Magic Bullet Suite 13 appeared first on Studio Daily.

The end is in sight for the class-action lawsuit that shook up the animation industry. Holdout defendants Disney, Pixar and Lucasfilm (all under The Walt Disney Company umbrella) have reached a $100 million settlement with claimants who say that major animation studios broke antitrust laws by conspiring to set wages for artists and technical employees through non-poaching agreements.

Adobe just informed some customers, including it’s UK & Swedish subscribers, that their monthly CC subs will be going up next month, from 10%-60%. Adobe cites “recent changes in exchange rates.” This due to the slump in the value of the pound.

At the beginning of January OWC previewed their DEC expansion system for the 15" 2016 MacBook Pro. They supplied images of a device that attaches to the base of the machine. The image they first used didn't show how the device is designed to connect to the Mac. You may have missed an update from the Mac Performance Guide in which they had a look at a DEC prototype. I’ve seen the prototype of the OWC DEC first hand. The DEC bolts onto the bottom of the MacBook Pro after removi...

I’ve missed ProRes. I’m used to jumping between Mac and Windows, and I often say that once I’m in Adobe-land I can’t tell the difference. But a few months ago I switched to Windows permanently and the thing I miss most is ProRes. Last week on the ProVideo Coalition Facebook page, a PVC reader posted The post Windows ProRes: first impression appeared first on ProVideo Coalition.

Now the fun begins. This is where your mind gets blown. Last year I attended an international conference for film teachers called CILECT, at Columbia College in Chicago. A speaker, whose name I wasn’t able to find in time for this webinar, shared this video with me, and my jaw hit the floor. What you’re about to watch in action is a computer program that can ingest movies, and create the author of this program calls a movie fingerprint. This project, called Cinemetrics, is a bachelor’...

After years of watching the same scene cut over and over again what I’ve come to realize that the way we train editors all wrong. And it's about to change in a big way - a big data way that is. EditStock will be at the forefront of this change. We’ll come back to what EditStock is specifically going to do later, but first let’s discuss what I mean by big data.More
