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

One of the big features of the new Mac Pro is the ability to operate multiple 4K displays via the Thunderbolt connection. Though the option itself sounds great, choosing a 4K display may not be so easy, and definitely is costly (not to mention a couple of these). As 9to5mac.com reports, for a short period of time Apple was offering Sharp 4K displays in the European online Apple Store, but they have been withdrawn quickly (image below).

When it comes to video editing software, one size does not fit all, and price isn’t always the best feature to base a product’s ability. Some very robust products can cost very little, some products aimed at beginners can be a bit too intense. So where do you begin? Research!

By now most of the Oscar bloggerati have seen “The Wolf of Wall Street,” which means one thing: it is poised to “devour” the Oscar race completely. Or its chances are, at best, “a mixed bag.”

Strangely many “professions” don’t like talking about rates and a daily wage as it’s still taboo…in their heads. Next time you visit your doctor ask him/her what their take home pay is each month, you will get the “not as much as you seem to think” chestnut ?

It can be easy to get lost in the sea of codec’s and formats available for creating content, and this is not just a concern for new users of After Effects, but there are also a lot of misconceptions floating around with even the most advanced users.

The future of the Internet and the freedom to use open software is threatened by licensing and patent ideologies that benefit only a select few. Therefore, it is of critical importance that the average human being understand the ideas behind software licensing and patents.

Even the use of non-diegetic sound in Easy Rider shows a disconnect from the ‘old’ America, in terms of cinematic conventions. This film has always been noted for its use of popular music of the day, like Jimi Hendrix and the Byrds, eschewing typical methods of soundtracking like an orchestra. While the music for Easy Rider was put in mostly a matter of chance (the editor for the film, Donn Cambern, listened to the music used while working on the movie and decided to integrate it), there is ...
