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

Tour Canon's Impressive New Service & Support Cent

Canon invited us to a private tour of their new Burbank shop in California, and if you've ever been to the original Hollywood location, you're going to enjoy the new and improved digs. Located on the second floor of the 3400 W. Olive building, which has plenty of FREE parking (don't forget to validate before you leave), the design is impressive. The aesthetics are on point, but it's not just that; the facility's interconnectivity is downright future-proof.

Review: Blackmagic Design ATEM Television Studio H

July 12, 2017, 12:31 PM

http://www.studiodaily.com/2017/07/201707review-bl...

About seven years ago, I reviewed Blackmagic Design’s (BMD) ATEM Television Studio for another publication. What it could do for the price was groundbreaking at the time, and it became a very popular switcher in the AV services business. It had lots of flexibility and, at under $1,000, was the go-to switcher for people who […] The post Review: Blackmagic Design ATEM Television Studio HD appeared first on Studio Daily.

The Invisible Thelma Schoonmaker

July 12, 2017, 12:29 PM

Thelma Schoonmaker has been Martin Scorsese’s editor for four decades. Together they’ve made twenty feature films. Yet, she has always stayed modest and made herself invisible, foregrounding her co-workers. She deserves more. Let's look at two of the greatest examples of her editing, both from the same excellent film: Raging Bull (1980).
