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

Saturday Oct. 24 at NMSU in Las Cruces, New Mexico, join VFX Supervisor Aaron Estrada and Sr. Motion Graphics Designer Josh Goble in an exploration of Digital Compositing and its role in post production. You may already know that digital compositing is one of the cornerstones of VFX and C.G. animation. But did you know it’s also very handy for editors and non-animation folks?

We catch up with sound recordist Ben Osmo on the set of Mad Max: Fury Road. Ben fills us in on recording sound on such an insane set, and how he managed to catch dialogue in the midst of explosions, collisions & big rigs roaring their way through the Namibian desert. This is a brilliant read!

Confessions of an Avid Product Designer

June 8, 2015, 08:57 AM

http://www.aotg.com/index.php?page=cuttingroom_167

In this episode Gordon sits down with former Avid Product Designer and Avid Product Manager Doug Hansel. We discuss what it takes to manage Avid and Pro Tools and balance the relationships of older and younger editors to the software. We talk about the intricacies of ensuring older editors are not upset with design changes, and simultaneous need for innovation to ensure younger editors are enticed to try out Avid products.
