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

Will Apple Release a New MacPro?

January 26, 2013, 03:27 PM

One of the web mailing lists I that I read regularly is IMUG – a great resource for anyone involved in media production or post. This morning, Paul Isbicki asked “…do any video pros REALLY believe that APPLE will make a turnaround move and release a new Mac Pro that will justify the inordinately long wait?”

Drawing and Animating in Apple’s Motion

Retracing the history of keyframing for animation helps us to understand concepts that make our animation not only work but look realistic with natural movement that’s less mechanical.

In Defense Of 'Good Enough'

January 26, 2013, 09:52 AM

http://dylanreeve.com/videotv/2013/good-enough.htm...

For many people in the TV and video industry good enough is a dirty word. It suggests a lack of care or investment. I think good enough should be embraced. Knowing what is good enough for the work you’re doing allows you to invest time and money in the places...

Oscars 2013: Ignore the editors at your peril - th

January 26, 2013, 09:51 AM

http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/industryhappenings/...

By Peter Howell, Movie Critic No serious Academy Awards pundit can ignore the Best Editing rule and expect to make the cut for predicting the eventual Best Picture winner. The rule goes like this: If a Best Picture nominee doesn't also have a Best Editing nomination, then it's not going to win Best Picture. This rule [...]

No Whining on the Yacht

*Explicit Tag* I don’t believe in luck, good or bad. Although, I don’t discount tragedy. I’m fairly certain life is a fucked up dichotomy that’s always throwing shit at you and yet gives you the opportunity to behold the most beautiful experiences there are to behold. I think in the face of this, we use [...]

Getting exposure: Kahaani editor Namrata Rao

January 26, 2013, 09:48 AM

http://movies.ndtv.com/bollywood/behind-camera-tal...

It was "tricky" to edit Kahaani that was "hinging on one twist", but as an editor Namrata Rao pulled it off so well that the thriller has won her several awards. While enjoying the recognition, she admits talent behind the camera is "getting the deserved exposure" and that she is being "paid quite a decent amount" for her work.

A TED talk on the power of image

January 26, 2013, 09:46 AM

http://blogs.adobe.com/jnack/2013/01/a-ted-talk-on...

At some point I lost track of (and most interest in) all the hand-wringing articles about Photoshop and body image. Even so, I found this talk by model Cameron Russell interesting. She’s unusually sharp (her mom founded ZipCar, it turns out) and compares images of her with the real person.
