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

I Screen, You Screen, We All Screen for Green Scre

What did you do last week? I mercilessly tore my living room apart and temporarily transformed it into a green screen (a.k.a. “chroma key”) studio in which I directed a short comedy called 2084. For as long as I can remember, my friends and I have joked about shooting 2084 on a massive soundstage with high-end gear and a huge crew — total overkill for this very silly, 3-minute short. Well, after ten years of that not happening, we finally decided to shoot 2084 with a tiny crew (four of us)...

Why Every Film looks sort of Orange and Blue

January 29, 2015, 01:49 PM

http://priceonomics.com/why-every-movie-looks-sort...

Maybe you haven’t noticed, but in the past 20-or-so years there’s been a real catchy trend in major Hollywood movies to constrain the palette to orange and blue. The color scheme, also known as “orange and teal” or “amber and teal” is the scourge of film critics – one of whom calls this era of cinema a “dark age.”

BÁSICO: Abrir varios proyectos simultáneamente e

La posibilidad de tener abiertos varios proyectos a la vez, es una de las muchas características que Blackmagic Design ha incorporado a DaVinci Resolve en su versión 11. Esto nos permite cambiar rápidamente de un proyecto a otro y, por ejemplo, pegar correcciones entre trabajos rápidamente. La opción está un poco escondida y viene desactivada por defecto. Para […]

Picture Your Book | Editing Book Trailers

January 29, 2015, 01:48 PM

http://editstock.com/blogs/all/16923060-picture-yo...

Books, like movies, need trailers too. Who knew? Writer, editor, and entrepreneur Gail Chandler knew. She's the whiz behind Picture Your Book, a site which "create(s) enjoyable, effective, reasonably priced trailers that help authors promote their books." The idea is to promote already written books with video trailers to grow aweness of the book's content, and create some presence online.  If you've never seen a book trailer (which I hadn't) I recommend watching this one for a bo...

XML, AAF, EDL, WTF?

January 29, 2015, 01:47 PM

http://postperspective.com/xml-aaf-edl-wtf/

Taking your project from the edit suite to the final product. By The Unknown Artist I’ve been asked a few times recently to explain the what, how and why of XML, AAF and EDLs. They’re an essential part of any turnover, and each post house will request a different set of one or more of these (often along with your project or bin). I, the Unknown Artist, am here to try and demystify this aspect of turnovers, and hopefully make turnover specs seem less weirdly demanding. What are they? ...

AE + C4D: Some Minor Assembly Required

January 29, 2015, 01:47 PM

http://provideocoalition.com/cmg_keyframes/story/a...

We’re fans of the Live 3D Pipeline workflow between After Effects CC and CINEMA 4D Lite. And Adobe has automated a large portion of the process to get the two to work together: In After Effects, create a New > Layer > MAXON CINEMA 4D File, and not only is a layer created in AE with the CINEWARE plug-in applied (where all the magic happens), C4D Lite is also opened with a new project linked to that particular instance of the plug-in for live rendering. However: At least as of AE CC 2014.2, ...

Review Fiddlewax Pro

January 29, 2015, 01:47 PM

http://www.askaudiomag.com/articles/review-fiddlew...

Fiddlewax Pro is an intriguing app for iPad that’s designed to let you compose without necessarily needing too many conventional musical skills. Billed as a music sketchpad and MIDI controller, it is surprisingly lightweight and futuristic-looking and does a good job of packing almost all its functionality into a single screen.
