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 Movie Sound Effects Are Made

There's a scene in Gravity where Sandra Bullock's character, Ryan, is wielding a drill in space — but there is, of course, no air in space, therefore no sound. So in the film, viewers heard the vibrations Sandra would have felt through her space suit. Pretty complicated stuff, no?

All is Lost producer on finding the perfect sound

As producer, part of Dodson's job was recruiting the perfect sound editing team for the film, which is now available on DVD. It was a critical task, as the movie features little dialogue from Redford, so the sounds of the storm, the wind, the waves and the boat act as characters in themselves. Most of those sounds would be added and created in post production.

How Oscar-Nominated Sound Sounds

February 28, 2014, 10:46 AM

There is not one sound in a film that the audience hears by accident. Like every frame, every single noise is a conscious decision. As the supervising sound editor on the Academy Award-nominated war film, Lone Survivor, Wylie Stateman is responsible for the planning and execution of each and every one of those sounds, and how they're integrated into the film. Although Stateman's team includes foley artists, production mixers, composers, and many others, he is in charge of most creative decisions...

Chris Watson is probably the world’s most famous field recordist. Without a doubt he has more recordings of animal sounds than we could listen to in a lifetime, However, we’re straying slightly off of animal recordings and into Watson’s collection of natural sounds – and how they ended up as one of the most unique and exciting sampled instruments: Geosonics by Soniccouture. Designing Sound chatted with Soniccouture’s James Thompson about the project.

Why Aren't There More Music Oscars?

February 28, 2014, 10:44 AM

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/earshot/why-arent...

For far too long, music’s relationship with the Oscars has been a one-way street. You can’t argue the importance of an Oscar to an artist’s career, whether it’s conferring mainstream respectability to Eminem, burnishing the legend of Elton John or Bruce Springsteen, or turning the undeniable talent of Randy Newman and Danny Elfman into solid bankability. But why is Oscar so standoffish when it comes to recognizing the importance of music in the many ways it helps define a movie or suppor...

With more than 30 years of experience, the sound editor Wylie Stateman has worked on a wide range of movies, from comedies like “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” and “Honey, I Shrunk the Kids” to Quentin Tarantino films like “Inglourious Basterds” and “Django Unchained.” He is now nominated for his sound editing on “Lone Survivor,” Peter Berg’s drama based on a memoir by the Navy SEAL Marcus Luttrell about his time in Afghanistan. Mr. Stateman has dealt with war themes before, b...
