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

AVID Media Composer rules high end production for feature films and broadcast. Even though other systems offer competition, AVID remains a formidable force at the high-end of film and video production. So what is it which makes AVID Media Composer so strong? In this discussion key members from AVID discuss the strengths which Media Composer offers, they talk about key features to the newly announced AVID Media Composer 5, and explain just why AVID editors LOVE the AVID and why the vast...

Avid just isn’t slowing down. I advised them that they just needed to slow down. But did they listen? Nope. Why slow down? Because just as soon as you get used to one version, another version comes along and has tons more features that you want.

NAB 2010 has come and gone, yet this year’s event seemed different to me on many levels. First, there seemed to be an anxious yet excited energy at this year’s show, and attendance was up from last year too. It’s like back to business––but what business is that? Things are changing so rapidly today that it seems impossible to keep up. Trying to keep up is the main reason I go each year. Here are my highlights from the show floor.

There are a number of effects that fall into the "grunge" or "distressed" category, including film grain, scratches and film defects, TV scanlines and light leaks. The last group is typically only available from stock footage houses as actual film clips, rather than as plug-in filter effects.

Adobe has succesfully generated a hype leading up to the launch of Creative Suite 5. Through various sites fragments were’leaked’. This created the so called buzz that was picked up and redistributed by the social networks.

One of the most common tasks when doing color correction is matching two shots. So this week and next, we’ll do exactly that. As always, I like working with the curves in Avid, but you should be able to use the skills learned in this tutorial when using the Color Wheels as well.

I read a really cool post by Ross over at You Down With FCP? about making a client controller out of an original Nintendo controller. With his permission, I have reposted the first piece of the post, but you should go over to his blog to check it out. Read the full post here.

Following up on some reflections from NAB 2010 (yesterday we looked at some of The Big announcements from the big companies), today I’ve listed some of the little guys in their little booths that you find in and around the show floor.

Stroome builds community features to Kultura online editing app. http://bit.ly/akWGCb I don’t think Avid need be worried by this competition to the upcoming cloud editing effort (mentioned in my previous post).
