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

Outing Sergei Eisenstein

“My first idea,” Peter Greenaway said, “was to make a documentary about what happened with the non-edit of this film, which was so close to his heart and mind and which forever afterwards he always regretted not finishing. So I went down to Mexico and Guanajuato and was fascinated by its ‘Museum of the Dead.’ Then I began writing dialogue—which is a completely un-documentary activity. There is a deliberate free-association, shall we say, of fact and fiction. There’s no such thing a...

FCPX and the new Retina iMac: Another real broadca

I recently took delivery of a new iMac 27-inch with Retina 5K display. So what better opportunity to test it out than the hardest broadcast job I do all year. So how did it and Final Cut Pro X cope? The last two years were with a Mac Pro, would it be fast enough?

ARRI Alexa dailies workflow with DaVinci Resolve 1

I've been working on a feature film shot on the ARRI Alexa and Alexa Mini and had to come up with a workflow for syncing and rendering out dailies. DaVinci Resolve 12 proved useful because all of the prep work could be done in one application all at once, with the added bonus of being able to roundtrip again after picture lock. Step 1: Offloading I used our very own Auto Transfer tool to offload the memory cards to two hard drives at once with checksum authentication to ensure the copies ...

As far as VFX challenges go, the latest Chemical Brothers promo Wide Open (feat. Beck) is a doozy - a woman dances around a warehouse space as parts of her body are revealed as 3D-printed lattice constructions - in one four and a half minute shot.
