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

When the cable channel Music Television (MTV) began airing music videos on August 1, 1981, with the prescient "Video Killed the Radio Star" by the Buggles, no one had seen anything like it. An entire network devoted to music, where your favorite bands sang the songs while they danced, cavorted in wild costumes, acted out stories and mugged in crazy environments...

I picked up a canon t2i the other day to save some timelapse-related wear and tear from my 7D. It used sd cards, and I quickly realized that some cards are better than others, even when they have the same specs. I was inspired by this post over on peta pixel. This isn't a very broad test, but I tested all the cards I could scrounge up.

In at least one recent post I talked about how to check what formats or codecs were used to compress your video. I recently came across a free piece of software called Video Spec that does that, as well as a whole host of other things, in a really easy way.

It's an interesting decision - WD is expanding their low-power 3.5" hard drive offerings with a second line at the same time Seagate exits the "green" market, claiming low-power drives aren't really all that beneficial or quite frankly, special. The Western Digital Red family of hard drives is designed for the 1 to 6 bay SOHO NAS space, which is about as specialized as it gets.

There are a small selection of books that I keep recommending to people (creatives and ‘non-creatives’ alike – isn't everyone creative in some way?) that I think are worth reading whatever field you are in. To me a good creative book is one that is a well crafted interesting read, stuffed full of genuinely useful practical tips and is so inspiring that you have to keep putting it down to go get your creative stuff done! So in that vein here are five of the best...
