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

In the last year, we’ve all been happy to see the slow emergence of software tools designed explicitly for sound design. The fine folks over at Tonsturm are the latest to release one such tool under the moniker Melted Sounds. Whoosh is a Reaktor based plug-in for designing, as implied by its name, complex and varied motion elements and pass-bys.

“Before there was a here here, I was here,” said Randy Thom, the director of sound design at Skywalker Sound, part of George Lucas’s Skywalker Ranch complex outside of San Francisco. “It used to be called Sprocket Systems, in the earliest days, and it became Skywalker Sound in the mid ’80s,” said Mr. Thom, who first worked with the company on “The Empire Strikes Back.”

As a sport, curling dates back to the early 16th century, and the pace and strategizing of “chess on ice,” as it has been dubbed, have remained relatively unchanged since then. But at the Sochi Olympics, one aspect of it got a lot speedier.

"Comedy is different all over the world," says Robert Lopez, who shares an Oscar song nomination with wife Kristen Anderson-Lopez for "Let It Go" from Frozen. So he is grateful that the animated hit's 41 foreign-language versions are not his problem, but that of Disney Character Voices International senior vp creative Rick Dempsey, responsible for translating Disney's films. "We were floored when we heard the compilation of 'Let It Go' in all those different languages," says Lopez. "It sounded p...

Toronto-raised sound engineer Andy Koyama's road to the Oscars began as a child in his mother's basement with a guitar, makeshift drums and dreams of shredding in stadiums.

Dolby Laboratories, the San Francisco-based audio technology company, said on Monday it will pay $92.5 million in cash to acquire Burbank-based Doremi Labs, a maker of digital cinema video playback systems. The value of the deal, expected to close by the end of 2014, could rise by as much as $20 million, based on Doremi’s performance over the next four years. “Dolby and Doremi Labs have complementary technology expertise and solutions,” said Kevin Yeaman, the president and CEO of Dolby.

After having spent many hours on the Lexicon MPX-1 in the early days, and the 960L after that, I’ve had the honor to take a close look at version 2.0 of Phoenix Verb by Exponential Audio, a company founded by one of the biggest experts in the world of reverb. Here’s my review of Phoenix Verb 2.0 that was released a few days ago.

Audio Post Production can now be completed on a laptop, but what do these mixes sound like when played in a cinema? Have you ever attended a mix in a dubbing theatre then reviewed that mix on your laptop and been disappointed? This session will demonstrate how mixes can be optimised for different playback options. Using before and after examples, we demonstrate the possibilities offered by the creative use of sound and how subtle changes in audio can change your perception of a story.
