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

A few weeks ago I moderated the Q&A that followed the Variety screening of “Jane Eyre.” I asked director Cary Fukunaga if he’d shot with a digital camera or on film, and he replied that he always prefers to shoot film.

Color Concepts and Terminology

January 24, 2014, 06:08 AM

http://digitalfilms.wordpress.com/2014/01/24/color...

It’s time to dive into some of the terms and concept that brought up modern color correction software. First of all – color grading versus color correction. Many use these terms to identify different processes, such as technical shot matching versus giving a shot a subjective “look”. I do this too, but the truth of […]

FCG016 – Exploring Metadata (feat. Jon Chappell)

January 24, 2014, 06:06 AM

http://digitalcinemacafe.com/2014/01/24/fcg016-exp...

Metadata has been a huge topic of discussion since day one of Final Cut Pro. What is metadata, why do you need it, how can we use it to our advantage. In this episode we explore some uses of metadata in a modern workflow and begin am exploration that will surely be revisited time and time again. Jon Chappell also represents the first ever vendor we’ve had on the show but make sure you listen to the disclaimers.

Preliminary Late 2013 Mac Pro 8 feedback

January 24, 2014, 06:06 AM

So.... my very preliminary testing with our new Mac Pro using the plugin I use most (filmconvert -FC), shows that Premiere CC needs more optimization for the dual GPUs. In fact, I'd say the CPU utilization is not up to snuff either.
