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

The HPA Tech Retreat is an annual gathering where film and TV industry folks discuss all manner of technical and business issues. It’s the sort of conference where the chap next to you is cutting shows on his MacBook Air; today he was alternating between Avid and FCP. On this last day, HDR and color Read More

If we can write out the steps we want the computer to do, then all we have to do is figure out how to translate our steps into something the computer can understand. I break down the Locator Method for creating pole vector constraints and outline how we would want to go about tackling this process through a script.

While this method is a bit more involved than the method shown in Part 2 of this series, it is well worth the time to set it up. I have yet to run into a situation where rotation values were placed on systems I have created. And once the process is scripted out, it really is just a button click to set up.

The HPA Tech Retreat is an annual gathering where film and TV industry folks discuss all manner of technical and business issues. I’m taking notes during the sessions and posting them; it’s a very limited transcription of what’s going on, but it should at least give you the flavor of the discussions. This fourth day Read More

The financial results being quoted in this article are erroneous. Due to the accounting evaluation and restatement process Avid has been going through, we have not issued any financial statements after Q3 2012. As we have previously reported, as a result of the restatement, previously issued financial statements are not accurate and should not be relied upon. We request that you delete any reference to Avid’s financial results, as your reporting is inaccurate.

SEIU United Service Workers West is using the protest, set for Friday, to ask the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences to rethink its choice for security for the Oscars. The union would like the Academy to chose a security contractor which gives its employees opportunities for full time work and to be unionized, which the union says is not the case.

In this podcast I demonstrate one method for placing the pole vector icon in the correct location. While this is a fairly quick, user-friendly method and works most of the time, it is not a 100% guarantee to keep joints chain rotation free.
