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

If we can predict just one thing for Apple in 2013, it's this: The company will continue to release products. But we're going to predict more than one thing (because we're crazy like that): Apple won't close down the business and give its money back to its shareholders, and it won't stop developing its major product lines. Here's how we think that development could go this year.

A few tried and tested harddrive recommendations for every editing scenario, including how to make sure you've bought the right speed and size drive with a little help from some free apps.

The late Ray Zone’s work with stereoscopic images goes back to converting flat images into 3D for comic books and graphic novels. As a hands-on practitioner, this led him to 3D work for television and motion pictures, and, as a writer, to his unique place as a groundbreaking journalist and historian of stereoscopic films and their technical evolution. This background has given the “3D King of Hollywood” a privileged view of the developments in stereoscopic cinema as the entertainment...

In late November, soon after the death of Marvin Miller, the longtime executive director of the Major League Baseball Players Association, I handed an editor a check. These two events — Miller’s death and the editor’s payment — were unconnected to one another, except to the extent that the editor’s remarks upon receipt of the money served to remind me of the lessons we might still learn from the recently deceased union man.

What are the little things that make your work life a simpler and happier place? For me, it’s without a doubt my Wacom Intuos tablet and my iPhone’s free recording app. Now, if it would just come with a free transcription tool or a personal assistant who would transcribe for me... But I digress.

We all see how desktop computers revolutionize every aspect of our industry, but the “last frontier” of video technology is accurate signal monitoring. High-quality cameras are more affordable than ever, but cinematographers need tools to carefully monitor the images they capture. Professional color grading is now within the realm of boutique shops and individuals, but no colorist can work without a good set of scopes. Master delivery requires as much attention to video levels as ever in...

Blackmagic Design’s purchase of DaVinci Systems put a world-class color grading solution within the reach of every video professional.

Happy Birthday After Effects! It’s hard to believe it’s been 20 years. While I didn’t know you from birth, you came into my life when you were a couple of years old – just before your new family at Adobe adopted you. Not unlike a toddler in their terrible two’s my first experience with you was a bit overwhelming. Let me explain. My background was graphic design. You were my first move into the world of motion graphics. And for that, I am forever grateful. But I must admit, it took a bi...

Apple’s MacBook Air is thin, light, and great for traveling, but when you get to your desk, the ritual of plugging in a keyboard, external monitor, speakers, and an external hard drive can feel anything but convenient. For ethernet users, the MacBook Air’s (as well as the Retina MacBook Pro’s) lack of an ethernet port can be problematic if you don’t have an Apple Thunderbolt Display or a Thunderbolt to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter.

We often receive questions from prospects and customers about optimal server hardware specs for best performance when using Squeeze Server. While this subject can be a White Paper or very long topic, I’ll attempt to cover some summary information that we’ve discovered– I’ll also request this to be a conversation, as we’d like to hear from customers and their real-world experience in the field.
