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

Forty years ago, legendary editor Walter Murch was working late one night on a film for Francis Ford Coppola called The Conversation (starring Gene Hackman). Like always, Murch was going back and forth through the footage, over and over again, looking to make the perfect cuts...

Art for arts sake - or is it?

http://ronsussmanedits.blogspot.ca/2014/09/art-for...

Those of us who work in a creative field for our livelihood, whether in production, post, graphic design, photography, etc. get paid to be creative on the spot. It takes a certain amount of mental skill and years of knowledge to be able to pull a rabbit out of your hat at the last minute or fly by the seat of your pants without looking like you're winging it. It can be emotionally exhausting and zap you of the desire to do anything creative when you're not working. I don't know about you, but af...

LUTs en Final Cut Pro X con LUT Utility

September 28, 2014, 07:49 AM

http://finalcutargentina.blogspot.com/2014/06/luts...

Una situación recurrente editando proyectos con el Final Cut Pro 7 era –y para aquellos que aún lo utilizan sigue siendo– tener que lidiar con archivos provenientes de Arri Alexa y su Log C, que provee un mayor rango dinámico para la corrección de color pero como contraparte, la imagen se ve muy chata si no se la interpreta adecuadamente y para ello necesitamos un plugin que requiere un proceso muy intensivo y por lo tanto, largos tiempos de render.Final Cut Pro X tiene desde hace va...

Leverage... And hard-to-move Objects

A brief back-story: A couple weeks back, the editors on the reality show Shahs of Sunset went on strike. Apparently they wanted better pay, saner hours, and health and pension benefits. Socialistic things like that.

ON THE COUCH – ep 19, part 3 – Ryan Burke (Rø

http://www.cinema5d.com/couch-ep-19-part-3-ryan-bu...

In the 3rd part of episode 19 of ON THE COUCH, we talk about the importance of audio on a shoot. After all, audio is 50% of a film, but nevertheless, it’s often neglected in shooting environments especially by cameramen who are concentrated on created compelling images by their very nature. Ryan Burke from Røde, Philip Bloom and George Olver from Movidiam.com and I engaged in a compelling conversation about the reasons for this problem and also the difficulties of convincing some clients on s...
