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

EDITING IN FOCUS

It’s not news to hear that making films can be an incredibly expensive process. And even though it’s completely acceptable to cut corners from time to time, the place it should never happen, but most frequently does, is in post. But, purchasing NLE programs doesn’t always need to push you over budget, which is where Final Cut Pro X enters – stage right.

What Colors Are The Dress? The Internet Is Divided

Is it blue or black? Is it white or gold? The internet can't seem to decide, as the dress below has made the rounds, resulting in a debate over which two colors people are seeing when they look at it

Stop Arguing, The Dress Is Black and Blue

What color is this dress? It’s a simple question, and most of the time, everyone would give a very similar answer. But this particular dress has split opinion, to the point where discussion has caused websites to crash, the seas to boil, and currencies collapse (OK, maybe not those last two, but it’s close). Is it gold and white, or is it black and blue?
