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

I just got back from China, and the nascent NAB Shanghai conference, where I was moderating the Global Innovation Exchange thought leaders event. The sessions on 4K, UHD, and 8K were packed. Speakers talked about how they are building new audiences through OTT, and how they are developing storage and workflows for complex, multi-platform delivery.  […]

Quentin Tarantino to Oliver Stone, Ridley Scott or Paul Verhoeven have worked with him. Harry Cohen’s passion for exploring new ways to use sound to tell stories has, invisibly, touched all of us. Now comes the recognition. An 18-time MPSE Golden Reel Award nominee, Cohen has contributed to more than 150 movies and television shows. The post Motion Picture Sound Editors to honor Harry Cohen appeared first on ProVideo Coalition.

Personal review of the Flexispot Sit Stand Desk Riser. Sitting too much is bad for your health. Prolonged standing also causes problems. FlexiSpot's sit-stand workstation encourages you to mix it up.
