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

Dolby Laboratories, the San Francisco-based audio technology company, said on Monday it will pay $92.5 million in cash to acquire Burbank-based Doremi Labs, a maker of digital cinema video playback systems. The value of the deal, expected to close by the end of 2014, could rise by as much as $20 million, based on Doremi’s performance over the next four years. “Dolby and Doremi Labs have complementary technology expertise and solutions,” said Kevin Yeaman, the president and CEO of Dolby.

Audio Post Production can now be completed on a laptop, but what do these mixes sound like when played in a cinema? Have you ever attended a mix in a dubbing theatre then reviewed that mix on your laptop and been disappointed? This session will demonstrate how mixes can be optimised for different playback options. Using before and after examples, we demonstrate the possibilities offered by the creative use of sound and how subtle changes in audio can change your perception of a story.
