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

RODELink's Lavalier Audio Comparison

I’ve been testing the RODELink to put together a review and a few times paused while post processing and thought to myself, “hmm…this audio seems sort of harsh…” So I did several things to narrow down the issue. I think it is just the nature of the RODE Lavalier mic. Here we have a listen to a clip from the RODE Lavalier and then compare it to a clip from the Audio Technica AT899, a similarly priced lavalier ($200 USD).

6 Tips from Stan Winston

During the 1980s and 1990s, the leftovers of special effects production created a cottage industry in of themselves. Theme park events, studio tours, and behind-the-scenes TV programs regularly shuffled out the puppets, animatronics, costumes, and make-up extensions that altogether created cinematic illusions, producing for pop culture consumers a sort-of second spectacle in which one could encounter the raw material that created convincing cinematic illusions.

The Foundry on high-end post applications for iOS

Don't believe Final Cut Pro X or Adobe Premiere will run on iOS one day? Apple’s Metal for iOS might be the key. Jack Greasely, Head Of New Technology at The Foundry (makers of feature film post tools such as NUKE and MODO) talking to RGB HQ: As Metal originated in iOS does this mean that there is the potential to run 'serious' applications, such as MODO, NUKE or even MARI on an iPad one day? Anything is possible. Having a common graphics API between the two is certainly a start. ...
