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

During her more than 50 years in the craft, film editor Anne Coates has been a stealth collaborator and ally to many of the world's finest directors including Sidney Lumet, David Lynch, Milos Forman, Lawrence Kasdan and Steven Soderbergh. She has left her mark on a remarkable catalogue of films that contains more gems than the crown jewels of merry old England. Starting with The Pickwick Papers in 1954, Coates went on to edit such films as The Horse's Mouth, Lawrence of Arabia.

Okay, so it's been a while since I've done what I originally intended to do with this blog: keep my various projects aggregated into one site. I'm slowly getting back into it, and I think I'll start back off by going in reverse order, starting with my project from the last few weeks.

Every once in a while smart people get together to do good.

MovieReshape: a Better Body Is a Mouse Click Away

Here’s an interesting 3 minutes and 38 seconds that made its way around Twitter this morning. It’s a demo for a technology that will let the user "conveniently perform spatio-temporal reshaping of human actors in video footage." In other words, if this technology was one day built into your After Effects or Final Cut Pro plug-in, it might be possible to bulk up the skinny protagonist in your film via the tug of a few sliders.

Can a Mac mini handle dual-screen HD editing?

October 11, 2010, 10:48 AM

http://provideocoalition.com/index.php/awilt/story...

At work, I have a big, snorting, hairy beast of a MacPro, but at home I want something small, quiet, and abstemious with the power—yet still capable of dual-screen HD editing with reasonable playback performance when I need it. I’ve tested two Mac minis, with GeForce 9400M and 320M GPUs, alongside my older 15" MacBook Pro with a Radeon x1600 GPU, and the results are... interesting. They may be applicable to recent MacBooks with the same GPUs, too.
