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

8K is becoming more and more of a reality. You can buy a (relatively) affordable camera, shoot and edit some 8K, and export it on a decent machine without too much thought. If you are looking at getting one of those fancy new setups and are going to start exporting 8K content to share on YouTube, you’ll likely want to find a good starting place to make sure it looks as good and sharp as you can get it.

Explosions on film are made to look good: fireballs and flame. In reality, though, they're a bit disappointing. Here's how Hollywood does it. • Produced with an experienced, professional pyrotechnician. Do not attempt.

COVID meant no NAB or IBC shows in 2020, and therefore no in-person Mixers. But we were very happy to welcome 600 attendees to our first virtual Mixer in December. We had brilliant speakers providing insights on all aspects of the industry – you can now watch the videos of these sessions below for free.

SXSW FILM FESTIVAL 2021 REVIEW! When she was 10-years-old, Alexis regained her hearing after witnessing the murder of her family. Now, in college, Alexis (Jasmin Savoy Brown) uses music and sound to highlight how people can potentially communicate. But, upon learning that her hearing is degrading once again, Alexis does the unthinkable… she begins killing people nobody will miss (the homeless, etc.) and recording it.

Filmmaker Zack Snyder’s four-hour feature completely reimagines the underwhelming 2017 superhero team-up film that brought various DC Comics heroes together to battle Steppenwolf, a deadly alien invader who intends to subjugate Earth for the cosmic conqueror Darkseid. In order to deliver the “Snyder Cut” of Justice League, the filmmaker made extensive use of both reshoots and visual effects to overhaul the tone and story of the original movie.
