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

Imported Audio From Test Screening

May 24, 2015, 09:02 AM

http://24p.com/wordpress/?p=221

It is common practice to record audio from movie test screenings and align it to the same version in Media Composer to see what is working or not in a particular version of a movie. Some films can have 10 or more test screenings before they are released. Importing the audience reaction allows the editor and director to pinpoint directly how scenes are playing out, be it for horror, comedy or other emotion they are trying to achieve in the story.

Submit Short Description (The development of CG animation film world is very much changed. Scenes in the film have become so realistic that made it less and less films are made without the use of computer graphics. Many movies rely on 3D models and visual effects and without them these films could not possibly not do. It can be clearly seen in the movies where monsters and monsters are doing, but also in movies and documentaries about the long-extinct animals.

http://digitalassetmanagementnews.org/workflow/why...

There have been a couple of interesting articles about DAM workflow recently which I have been intending to get around to discussing on DAM News for a few weeks. One of these is by Roger Howard with the title, Workflow Doesn’t.
