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

Every friday we post a few interesting videos to enjoy for the weekend. This friday, I am pleased to share some incredible footage. For those that don’t know, Sally Menke was Quentin Tarantino’s editor since Reservoir Dogs. Tragically, she died in 2010 and without any in-depth interviews or insight into her working process...

"Oh we’ll just fix that in Post."   Those are 7 of the most famous words in all of media production.  Whatever happens in the field, it doesn’t matter, those technical wizards in the darkened rooms with computers galore can make it absolutely perfect....

When we posted Peter Zigich's first design thoughts on a new MacPro last year, we didn't realise how popular the article would be. He's back with round two of possible design thoughts and this time there is something new at the core.

Metrics and the Future of Television

I kind of think of Phil Hodgetts as the "Maestro of Metadata" – that practice of attaching as much data directly to our media as possible so we can more easily use and find those images, audio files, and video later. Metadata has been getting a lot of play in the last year or two...

Copyright, schmopyright! In this episode of The Track Matte Moment, Deb assumes that seasoned pros understand the importance of copyright and gets herself into a little freelancer pickle.
