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

So you've edited a piece with music with a watermark or a low bit rate demo version. How do you go about replacing it with the full quality track without disturbing the edit?

Sweet Sound Secrets of Dinners, Drive-ins, and Div

Airing on the Food Network, “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives” features a ‘road trip’ concept where show host Guy Fieri travels through North America looking for the best made-from-scratch food in diners, drive-ins, and dive bars. In each city, the show visits multiple locations—frequently on the same day. Hence, the show’s production crew needs to be nimble and ready for just about anything. This is why the location sound operators rely on their arsenal of digital hybrid wireless microph...

How It's Done: Wireless Mic & Antenna Selection

The subject of antenna placement is often overlooked in installations, particularly in AV applications. The worst case scenario is where the supplied whip antennas are attached to the receiver, which is then located in a metal rack. Not much operating range can be expected from such a poor setup.

After several years of hard work its time to show the world. Alex has worked tirelessly as Executive Producer and Post Supervisor on Valiant.
