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

For a long time I've wanted to get a full-time professional colorist on the show. So I’m happy to announce that I finally have. Today we have author, teacher and color grading guru Alexis Van Hurkman. Alexis is the author of "The Color Grading Handbook," which was the best-selling book at NAB two years running. He's also has a Ripple Training video about DaVinci Resolve. But in addition to his color grading prowess, Alexis is also an accomplished writer and director.

Will high FPS video finally kill off interlace?

I visited a Dolby screening room yesterday for an introduction to Atmos, Dolby's next-generation cinema sound platform. It is just a cinema product today, so not of pressing interest to broadcasters, but television was once only monophonic, and is now up to 7.1 surround, so who knows what could happen in the future? A key addition to surround systems is overhead sound from ceiling mounted speakers. We saw clips demonstrating how audio "objects" can be placed around the auditorium.

What is Rhythm?

October 19, 2012, 01:28 PM

http://www.karenpearlman.net/1/post/2012/10/what-i...

This isn't really one question, it is three: what is rhythm made of in film editing?  How is it shaped? And most importantly, what is it for?  This 2 minute video contains the 26 word answer to all three questions, which is quicker than reading the first four chapters of Cutting Rhythms though maybe not quite as useful!
