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

When you use samples of video in your movie, or use a story you saw in the newspaper, or quote a lengthy piece from a book, you might run up against the law, by breaking copyright. Copyright is a way of protecting you, not just the stuff you want to sample or use. Copyright is...
IN THE CUT: EMPLOYING THE ART OF EDITING

http://quintessential.posterous.com/in-the-cut-emp...
In February, I reviewed the In The Cut: Employing the Art of Editing seminar, given as part of the American Cinematheque Film Series, by Thomas Ethan Harris. (Review here: http://quintessential.posterous.com/in-the-cut-employing-the-art-of-editing-m... This Thursday Mr. Harris is giving another re-vamped version of the seminar. (I've been to two of these and find them to be most inspiring, especially if you're looking to break the mold.)

Cutting in the Third Dimension

Editor Gordon Burkell writes a thoughtful piece on Mastering Film going over both the technical and artistic choices editors can make when it comes to 3D. He says, "3D is merely in an early phase of development. Directors who are visionaries and artists need to push the medium to its fullest potential. However, these directors need editors who are willing to push their craft to its fullest potential...

Wanted to do a shout out to 2 companies that have really been going all out in terms of their workflows with AE. In September, Autodesk released a new compositor link plugin for AE that works with 3DS Max. What blew me away was it can create a link between the two applications...

Keyframing the Color Corrector 3-Way Filter
December 4, 2011, 09:19 AM
http://www.larryjordan.biz/tips/tip362.html
This works just like it does in any other filter once you get to the right place. You can easily use keyframes in the Color Corrector 3-Way filter in Final Cut, provided you set an initial keyframe first.
