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

Using Guitar Pedals With DAW

April 3, 2014, 03:50 PM

The stomp box market is booming. There are so many weird and wonderful effects about now that are just as interesting as any plug-in. Players have been using pedals on synths and keyboards for years and many top producers use pedals for shaping sounds when recording and mixing so why not have a go yourself!

THE MONUMENTS MEN: Jon Neill – VFX Supervisor

He had a pretty hands off approach to the visual effects, relying on Angus to interpret what he wanted. Ultimately, the visual effects needed to be invisible and photorealistic, not interrupting the narrative in any way. We concentrated on being as subtle and historically accurate as possible.

Mix Window Essentials - Pro Tools

April 3, 2014, 07:50 AM

After writing Pro Tools Session Navigation In Five Shortcuts I wondered whether there could be an equivalent list written for the Mix window. In short I decided not. Basic operation of the mix window is largely intuitive but I still think there are a few valuable timesavers worthy of a mention. Some of these are very well known but still worth listing for the benefit of the less experienced user. Others are less well known.

6 Toughest Cuts: Schoonmaker on what was left behi

When Martin Scorsese finds a collaborator he likes to work with, he tends to make a habit of it. Robert De Niro (star of eight Scorsese flicks) and Leonardo DiCaprio (star of five) may be Scorsese's most visible long-time collaborators, but film editor Thelma Schoonmaker is by far the most entrenched.

It's only a few days before we all head to Vegas for the annual gathering. The show we love to complain about, but admittedly, wouldn't miss for the world. Once a year, we all get together at the LVCC to see what unfolds; and to see old friends.

Creating a 3D Mix with 2 Speakers

We often think that more than two speakers or monitors are required in order to create a 3-dimensional music mix. In fact, you can do so with a humble two-speaker system. Paul Wickliffe explains how.

Create an Easy Halftone Effect

Mikey Borup shows a clever little technique for creating a halftone effect in After Effects using a shape layer and a camera lens blur effect. As Mikey mentions in the tutorial, there are likely many ways to create one type of an effect, and this represents just one of them.
