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

By Karen Moltenbrey For a while now, there has been reluctance when it comes to a cloud-based visual effects workflow, especially in terms of content security. But when COVID-19 forced studios into a remote work situation, there was little choice – take the leap and trust the security measures or cease operation in the midst of deadlines.

Leading VFX studio Rodeo FX has shared with AWN a new VFX breakdown reel showcasing their extensive work on Amazon Prime Video’s neo-futurist semi-anthology, Tales from the Loop. The challenging work required a delicate balance between the sci-fi fable’s naturalism and the photorealistic elements that gave the show an almost surreal, but uniquely futuristic look and tone.

Mix and edit groups are a crucial part of managing a Pro Tools session and the bigger the session the more important groups become. As sessions grow and evolve it usually becomes necessary to modify the contents of a group. To do this you probably know that by clicking on the disclosure triangle at the top right of the Groups list a list of options is displayed, one of which is Modify Groups.

How to make better looking and sounding Skype and

So many broadcasters have been relying on incredibly crappy webcam video for content, ala SNL’s stay-at-home broadcasts, numerous news shows, and late-night shows. It’s no wonder that if the networks can’t do it right, your colleague on Zoom or Skype might be similarly challenged. Just because you can’t broadcast from a multi-million dollar studio doesn’t [...]Read More...
