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

Some writing for Post Magazine

Last month I was in Amsterdam for the annual IBC trade show, a large and important expo for people in the broadcast and film industries. I have been going to IBC since 2003, my company Automatic Duck would exhibit with other plug-in companies in the Plug-in Pavilion. But 2010 was the first year where Automatic Duck did not exhibit. There are still a lot of good reasons to be at IBC, so I still traveled to Amsterdam for a few days.

Eps. 11 -T&P What if we Started Over

What would the production industry be like if we had no existing industry: no established production business, no guilds, no agreements, no contracts, no established workflows. How would we go about establishing something like broadcast television so people could still make decent middle class salaries, be creative and do what they love to do.

While H.264 is the star of the codec world at the moment because it creates small file sizes with great image quality, it is not always the best choice when you want to create a QuickTime movie. Why? Because H.264 requires a seriously fast computer to play back smoothly.
