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

This device mounts on your desktop as one drive while simultaneously downloading to up to 3 external destinations at the same speed if it were one drive. Amazing hardware driven technology. As boring as it is, data management is now a big part of the job and a product like this theoretically makes the process a little less painless. We'll see..

November Back Up Reminder

A monthly backup of your system should be a minimum (hence these reminders) so you might consider something like CrashPlan for automated backups. I’ve been using it for a couple of months now and like it so far. The next thing I need to test is restoration as a backup is only as good as being able to get the info back.

Fast Cutting: Lyndon Barber goes on a crusade

THRILLERS by definition have always aimed to excite the viewer, using a battery of techniques. Classics such as Alfred Hitchcock's North by Northwest and the early Mad Max, Die Hard, Alien and Terminator films were constructed around brilliantly structured sequences that amounted to miniature symphonies of tension and release, full of excitement, suspense, relief and shock. In the late 1980s and the 90s, Hong Kong films, especially the bullet ballets of John Woo, revolutionised the genre...

Grading the Graders Pt. 1

October 31, 2010, 11:00 PM

http://mikemost.com/?p=204

There seems to be a lot of talk these days about color grading, and a lot of it seems to revolve around what system represents the best solution given a particular set of circumstances. In a lot of these discussions, there seems to be a lot of attention paid to using general purpose platforms, such as nonlinear editors like Final Cut, Avid Media Composer, and Premiere Pro, for this purpose...

Tapeless TV Workflow for Childrens Hospital

October 31, 2010, 02:01 PM

http://www.studiodaily.com/main/technique/tproject...

Childrens Hospital debuted in 2008 as a web series on TheWB.com before coming to Adult Swim this summer. Bringing it to television meant planning a workflow that would preserve the creative energy that made the online version a success while bringing the property to a much larger audience. That responsibility fell to North Hollywood's J/KAM Digital, which cut the show in HD on Mac-based Avid Media Composer Nitris DX systems and finished it on the Symphony Nitris DX. Film & Video talked about...
