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

Which ProRes quality level is Good Enough

February 22, 2011, 09:05 AM

So I wanted to share some personal findings after working heavily with DSLRs for about a year and a half now. I’ve been converting most of my DSLR footage to ProRes LT for post-production, and have found it to be a good size-to-quality happy medium. In most cases, my projects will end up on DVD, web, or some kind of Standard Definition delivery, so LT allows me to strike a quality compromise that tends to be invisible after output...

If you haven’t heard, the American Cinema Editors held their 2011 Eddie Awards last Saturday night, February 19. Along with the list of winners was the Lifetime Achievement Award handed out to Michael Kahn. Often you’ll heard him credited as Steven Speilberg’s longtime editor and while he has edited a lot of films for Spielberg he has also cut a lot of other legendary films as well. Just check out his IMDB profile.

Movie stars Amy Adams, Javier Bardem and Aaron Eckhart gathered Saturday at the Beverly Hilton to honor the editors who make them look so good. Or, in the case of the evening's host, so small.

Attack of the Minis

Light Peak is an interesting technology and one I want to see sooner rather than later. Essentially it’s one connector for all purposes: peripherals (storage, i/o), networking (short distances in first release, longer later) and a replacement for the connectors we use now (which will largely work with adapters. The only protocol that may not run over Light Peak is USB 3, but USB 1 & 2; FireWire 400/800, eSATA...

The second course is based on the Basic Animation section of the book, where we guide you...

A.C.E. Awards Honor the Best Editing

Since Ordinary People in 1981, no film has won best picture at the Oscars without also having received a best editing nomination at the Eddies. Because the Eddies often predict the Best Picture, it is significant that The Social Network editors, Angus Wall, A.C.E., and Kirk Baxter, edged out the editors of Black Swan, The Fighter, Inception and The King’s Speech, garnering the ACE Eddie Award for best edited dramatic feature at the 61st annual ACE Eddie Awards, Feb. 19 at the Beverly Hilton.
