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

Aja Ki Pro

Last Friday I was to attend and speak at a seminar on Aja, here in Mumbai. It was the start of a weekend, and traffic conditions in the Western suburbs were at an all time disarray. Some said there was a large procession of some kind. Anyway, I got stuck in bumper to bumper traffic, ran out of fuel, and eventually gave up trying to reach the venue.

More than one person has pointed me toward the relatively new blog American Editor, written by Rob Ashe: Senior Video Editor & Opening Title Designer of Conan O’Brien’s most recent ventures among other items on a long resume. Rob is a straight shooter with a wry sense of humor, who dishes up some honest opinions and advice on working in The Industry.

Phyx Stylist is a set of visual effects focused on color overlays. They range from the subtle to the garish, often within the same effect. By altering the color—either to warm, distort, or simply alter your footage—the set creates illusions, digital special effects, and correction.

Editing Tip: Mixing it up with Split Edits

February 6, 2011, 09:56 AM

http://jeffvlog.wordpress.com/2011/02/06/editing-t...

It’s such an elegant little modifier: split. Psychology has the split personality, baseball the split-fingered fastball and the rest of us are left balancing our waistlines against the caloric lure of the sublime banana split. In video, the term takes on a new meaning when you sit down to craft a video program. Here we enter the realm of the split edit, a technique that, once mastered, can add new levels of interest and audience engagement to your video editing efforts.

Editors watch for basics

Forget tricks of the trade. For most of this season's Oscar-nominated editors, film -- their own, and those by their colleagues -- is all about authenticity, where total immersion is key in both edit bay and movie theater.

The signs of a good edit – Black Swan

February 5, 2011, 07:36 PM

http://www.jaa-editing.com/wordpress/2011/02/signs...

When I was younger, after going to the cinema I would almost mentally inhabit the world I had been temporarily involved in – allthemoreso with the superhero and children’s fantasy films. Not for long, just a continuation past the actual two or so hours I had been sitting in the film. When I grew a little older and the trait faded out of memory, it was easy to attribute it to multiple factors...
