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

How Attack Of The Phantom Made Eps. II Watchable

Star Wars is no stranger to the spectre of a phantom editor – most will know the tale of how Star Wars: A New Hope was “saved in editing,” not by George Lucas, but by John Jympson. This version of Star Wars (dubbed the “Lost Cut”) was a complete disaster: according to an article in Star Wars Insider #41 by David West Reynolds, it contains about 30-40% different footage from the final version, and to this day the Lost Cut has been seen by very few eyes. Within it, there are scenes that ...

A rainy, windblown night this past February didn't stop a mix of editors, students, and assorted wannabes from packing the auditorium of Manhattan's French Institute. The evening was the first 2013 presentation of Bobbie O'Steen's “Inside the Cutting Room” interview series with special guest Andrew Weisblum, A.C.E. Manhattan Edit Workshop's president Josh Apter took the stage to introduce the evening.

Colors that fade

Now that DI has really taken off and the cost of owning a system has fallen sharply, the number of working colorists has grown just as dramatically. This boom in color grading may also have caused significant changes to the perception of images by the audience.

Tone Mapping/Artificial HDR in After Effects With

Whilst finishing a feature film, I came across a situation where I needed to artificially expose my images, to protect details of the motion picture without underexposing or overexposing the parts I needed to keep. This is how simple it can be done in AE.

This will seem a bit not-video-related, but I’ll bring it around. Maybe. Last night I went to Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra’s Happy Hour event. It was my first time attending and the thing that brought me: “a mash-up of Brahms’ First...

Masterclass - how not to hold a press conference

March 8, 2013, 05:40 AM

http://mumbrella.com.au/adobes-masterclass-in-how-...

Dr Mumbo always enjoys it when a press conference goes astray. And he’s three weeks behind on this video, shot by Renai LeMay of Delimiter, who gave the CEO of Adobe a hard time over the product being priced more highly in Australia than the US. Rather than squirming and dodging the question, Dr Mumbo suggests Adobe may want to find an actual way of preparing an answer before the next press conference.

Electrifying fashion film for Kenzo’s Resort 2013 collection. Can we even call this an edit? Regardless, the animation, colours, an elements all pulse to the beat and we’re loving it. The video is made by art-director Mat Maitland using animations from Natalia Stuyk with post-production … Continue reading →
