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

How To: H.265 vs. H.264, Choosing The Best Options

November 11, 2014, 08:07 PM

http://blog.streamingmedia.com/2014/11/h265-versus...

The case for H.265, like most new video technologies, is compelling: better compression and faster/cheaper delivery over lower bitrates. For any content distributor seeking to distribute content to mobile devices over congested 3G/4G/LTE networks, these traits are highly desirable.

Editing for Others vs. Editing for Ourselves

October 30, 2014, 04:44 AM

My assistant editor is learning a valuable lesson in her young career. She’s learning that when she’s editing for others, it isn’t necessarily about her sense of creative expression. It’s more about what the producer/client/director wants.

A fine Frenzy

October 29, 2014, 09:38 AM

http://deadline.com/2014/10/editing-duo-behind-bir...

When Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu approached longtime editor Stephen Mirrione about shooting a wholly different movie—one that looked as if it were filmed in one take—Mirrione assumed Inarritu’s reputation as a control freak would quash the project quickly.

Legacy Metadata – The Next Big DAM Problem?

October 29, 2014, 04:48 AM

Like a lot of people I know in the Digital Asset Management trade currently, my firm has been deluged with client work for a sustained period. Several times in recent weeks, I’ve been asked why I think that is. Some vendors advance the theory that it’s because their solutions have become more sophisticated and demand has increased as a result. A few consultants take the view that their educational efforts are bearing fruit (and not before time some of the older hands are keen to point out).

Creating Different Concepts of Reality Editing

Editors rejoice. Every year the Creative Arts Awards given out by the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences heralds the greatest achievement in our craft. When the 2014 ceremony awarded the Emmy for “Outstanding Single-Camera Picture Editing For A Miniseries Or A Movie,” it was not only a great triumph for winner Yan Miles; it was also the fulfillment of a promise for me.
