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

Editing has come along way over the years as technology gets smaller and smaller. However nothing surprises me more than the ability to edit 720p footage from the iPhone directly on my iPhone for free. That’s right I said free!!

parity between the Tangent Wave and Euphonix MC

When it comes to affordable hardware for post-production, "affordable" is often a relative term. What may be affordable for one is not necessarily affordable for another. Sometimes there may be limited choices for a particular piece of hardware so the price point is the price point and there’s not much the purchaser can do about it. Color grading control surfaces are no different. While some applications like Apple Color and RedCine - X support both the Tangent Wave and...

Devil's Double Director Talks Post with Avid

January 26, 2011, 09:00 AM

http://community.avid.com/blogs/buzz/archive/2011/...

In Park City, the Avid artist relations team connected with The Devil's Double Director Lee Tamahori. The Devil's Double brings a "chilling vision" of Saddam Hussein's palace, through the perspective of the man who was forced to become the body double of Hussein's eldest son, Uday. Coincidence or not, the serious subject matter reflects the huge undertaking for this filmmaker in tackling the project's production and post production.
