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

Are my editing and post predictions for the new year really that cynical? For 2013 we should all resolve to be creative. That AJA T-Tap looks pretty cool if you have Thunderbolt. Or these two Thunderbolt devices might help for I/O. Want to go offline to online with 4K? So After Effects turned 20. The DIT Dilemma is [...]

The After Effects 3D Cube

http://library.creativecow.net/mize_rob/AE-3D-Cube...

Rob Mize demonstrates the building of a 3D cube that can be animated in 3D space. Rob also shows how to pre-compose layers to quickly customize the cube with graphics, video, text or all of the above. All you need is the After Effects basics and a desire to build and manipulate 3D objects in 3D space.

JJ Abrams doesn't like driving

I really found this piece inspirational. Not so much about the AVID stuff, but the fact that JJ Abrams has built a facility where he can do EVERYTHING (or so they say) under one roof. That way he doesn’t have to travel all over town to oversee various parts of the post process.

Zero Dark Thirty

January 18, 2013, 09:52 PM

http://digitalfilms.wordpress.com/2013/01/18/zero-...

Few films have the potential to be as politically charged as Zero Dark Thirty. Director Kathryn Bigelow (The Hurt Locker, K-19: The Widowmaker) and producer/writer Mark Boal (The Hurt Locker, In the Valley of Elah) have evaded those minefields by focusing on the relentless CIA detective work that led to the finding and killing of...

Last Friday, which in internet years is long, long ago, I ran in the rain to The Paley Center to check out Doc U: Global Impact – Docs as Tools of Change. The panel, moderated by International Documentary Association (IDA) Executive Director, Milton Tabbot, was brought to the center by way of IDA and the Independent Filmmaker Project (IFP).
