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

No, you can’t do that now...not without third party plugins. But I wanted to mention two situations of me needing to do this recently, and two of the third party options I used.

USB 3.0 is quite new and not many computers are fitted with support for it. There are some USB 3.0 Host Adapters available, however their speeds might be different for each model. The video below shows a test of two adapters, CalDigit and Lacie. The CalDigit card was 20% better on Read and 40% better on Write speeds when compared to the Lacie card. Check out the video...

Verizon Sues the FCC

If anybody was laboring under the illusion that the big internet service providers are benign giants who want us all to share in the democratic bounties of the net, a small article in yesterday’s NY Times should serve as a cautionary reminder that we ain’t living in Mayberry.

What $300 Buys These Days

One of those "I sure hope this is true" stories... The story goes that it was produced for the princely sum of $300. Now obviously, for that to be true everyone worked for free, and all the sets, cameras, and editing was tossed in gratis as well. But it looks really great, and kind of holds a funhouse mirror up to stories like "X-Men" and the like.
