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

Emotional Distancing

When to hold back ☛ One of the basic tenets of the industry that has grown up to help screenwriters with their scripts is: make your story as emotional engaging as possible. It’s not bad advice: well-written, emotionally impactful scenes cost the same to shoot as averagely written ones; but they can make the difference […]

Zack Snyder Thanks Snyder Cut Supporters After Rai

While the chief goal of the Snyder Cut movement was to get director Zack Snyder’s fully realized vision for Justice League out to the masses, it also did some good for charity along the way. Fans have raised a lot of money for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention in honor of Zack Snyder’s late daughter Autumn, and continue to do so even with Zack Snyder’s Justice League on course for a 2021 release. Now the filmmaker has once again thanked those who have donated money to this wor...

George Clooney’s The Midnight Sky, now streaming on Netflix, follows action both on Earth (in the Arctic) and in space (mainly on the spacecraft Æther). The filmmakers looked to new virtual production methods, in particular LED walls using ILM’s StageCraft technology set up at Shepperton Studios, to help realize icy Arctic environments.

Review: PreSonus PD–70 impoppable dynamic studio

December 23, 2020, 02:54 PM

https://www.provideocoalition.com/review-presonus-...

Here is my review on the PD–70 dynamic studio microphone. For the human voice, it sounds great, isolates well and even looks great too, especially at ≈US$130. I love the included —and already installed— windscreen which not only enhances its visual appearance, but also is as pop-proof as the “presidential” A81WS windscreen I have covered [...]Read More...
