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

Good post is good post

Listen up. Good post is good post. Bad post is bad post. I mention this as a reminder to everyone saying that the only way to make a 3D movie is in the camera, that the "problem" with some 3D movies is that the 3D was added in post. It shouldn't take a single second for you to remember that post, in itself, is not the problem. Quite the contrary. We can all name a dozen examples off the top of our heads where post was the only possible solution...

Christmas gift ideas for the editor

It’s very close to the Christmas holiday but my guess is there’s still a lot of shopping to be done. Editors need gifts too so I thought I’d put together this somewhat editor / edit suite specific list of a few items that might make an editor happy if they unwrapped them from under the tree. With that caveat you won’t see any software or downloadable products, which makes this list a bit difficult since so much of what we do is on the computer.

In a recent 8K filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Avid disclosed that it plans to restructure its operations during the first half of 2011 by eliminating positions "in lower growth geographies and markets," while reinvesting in "more strategic areas with greater opportunity for growth." Avid also said that it will be closing portions of certain office facilities as part of this process.

Interview with Paul Hirsch

One of the elements that made Star Wars: A New Hope such a success was its editing. Three people shared the credit for the film: Paul Hirsch, Marcia Lucas and Richard Chew. In 1978, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences awarded them an Oscar for their work. In his career Paul Hirsch has worked 11 times with legendary director Brian DePalma. He also edited, among others, Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, Footloose, Mission: Impossible, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Carrie and Ray, for...

Choosing a digital editing system

As I announced last summer, I am updating my first book, Cut by Cut: Editing Your Film or Video to include the technological advances and changes to editing room practices that have occurred since the book came out in December 2004. How do you decide which system to cut on? Let me know. In the meantime, here’s the updated section from the new book:

Drobo and the Journey to Deliver via- We Got Serve

Having developed a similar storage pooling and protection technology to Drive Extender in the form of BeyondRAID back in 2007, Data Robotics’ perspectives on the challenge to innovate in storage technology were fascinating. Following Microsoft’s announcements the company clearly sees an opportunity opening up next year to support existing WHS installations or migrate users to over to Drobo.
