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

Thunderbolt Impressions

I recently picked up an external, 1 TB Thunderbolt drive from LaCie. It required the purchase of a USD50 Thunderbolt cable. The idea was, given the tiny little hard drive on my MacBook Air, I'd use the Thunderbolt for external storage for everything I'm doing.

Goodbye

The impact of the loss is resounding to say the least. I feel like I lost someone very close to me today and its because of my gratitude for the all that he achieved during his short lifetime. Though I did not know the man personally, they say that every Apple product is filled with his DNA, and I believe it.

Steve Jobs leaves behind the Mac, and his touch

A few hours ago, Steve Jobs, founder of Apple, ex-CEO, and creator of the Apple Mac, iPod, iPhone, iPad - devices that sold in the hundreds of millions - left us. His devices and ideas forever changed the way the common man uses a computing device often even to make a living.

Today, we lost a legend.

We all knew this day was coming (see my recent article written when he stepped down as CEO of Apple), but it's still no less sad. Today, Steve Jobs passed away. Say what you want about Apple, but Steve Jobs was a legend in the area of personal technology. Under his leadership, Apple led the world through a unique combination of design, vertical integration, simplicity, and pure passion.

Billing for the Video Industry

Every video project should be split into progress payments. By splitting the financial payments across progress you ensure protection for your financial security. Typically, I recommend the use up to five, equal payments. If project’s have extremely short timelines or do not involve a full-service production (such as shooting only) then adjust your payment schedule.

Thoughts on Steve Jobs

Apple announced this afternoon that Steve Jobs had died. It is the end of an era, but not the end of a company. I met Steve Jobs only once – in 1992. There was only time for a brief chat – we were sharing the stage at an industry event. (He, um, went first.)
