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: where to pull down the REAL money (and it

To those considering the idea of Hollywood editing paychecks: they ain’t what they used to be. And paychecks are FAR from the only reason to edit… but to those of us who do it for a living, they’re a big deal. And they could end up being a big deal to you too. I always […]

ILM VFX Supervisor Richard Bluff On LUCY, Matthias

ART Of VFX has published an interview with Richard Bluff, VFX Supervisor at Industrial Light and Magic, about his recent work on the movie LUCY by Luc Besson. In the interview, Richard recalls seeing the inspirational particle work by Krakatoa user-extraordinaire Matthias Mueller and using it as the base for the drug dissolving sequences in Lucy's body.  ...Matthias’ personal work struck a chord with me. It had a very interesting look and feel for the exploding CHP4 drug in Lucy’s...

At IBC 2014, Adobe is previewing the latest features coming to Creative Cloud pro video apps (blog). Features are a bit light since these are updates not new version releases, but steps forward nonetheless. Hopefully there are few kinks in any UI changes amid the high-DPI functionality upgrades.

The RIGHT way to get good timecode sync with multi

September 7, 2014, 12:39 PM

So, you have a multi camera shoot and you want to have the timecode in perfect sync between all of the cameras. For a start lets assume we are talking about pro cameras that actually have timecode in and out, because without a way to connect an external timecode source, getting truly accurate TC sync is all but impossible. The other thing you need if you want REAL timecode sync is genlock (or an Arri Alexa with an Ambient Lockit box).
