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

Sound mixing and sound editing: What’s the diffe

February 14, 2014, 01:34 PM

Sound mixer and sound editor may not be the most mysterious job titles on a movie crew. That dubious honor would have to go to gaffer and grip. Still, even among avid movie fans, few people fully understand the difference between the sound specialties.

The sounds of excellence: A look at this year’s

If you’re a movie fan, there’s a good chance you’ve already got an opinion about who should win an Oscar® for best picture, best actress, and maybe even best costume designer. But chances are, you’ve got no clue who should win in the sound categories.

The Colors of Wes Anderson’s Films

February 12, 2014, 11:09 AM

http://flavorwire.com/300380/the-colors-of-wes-and...

We think it’s fair to say that Wes Anderson has one of the most immediately recognizable styles of any contemporary filmmaker. But until we stumbled across this color palette whipped up by graphic designer Beth Mathews, we didn’t realize how much it had to do with his color choices. As Mathews points out, the colors Anderson...

Freelance Question

Honestly, I get a lot of my jobs through people I’ve previously worked with (i.e. AEs, post supes, story producers, etc.) or a contact through my friends. It’s almost always a “You’re looking for a gig, right? I know so-and-so and s/he is looking for an AE”.

Community Tip - Using Memory Location 999

February 12, 2014, 05:49 AM

http://www.pro-tools-expert.com/home-page/2014/2/1...

Here’s a small tip I’d like to share with the community. I’m a sound editor in post-production, and all day long I need to temporarily mark a certain location in my timeline and jump back to it very quickly, to spot a sound for example. To do so I use Memory Location 999 which is very quick to set and recall. 3 adjacent keys on the numpad do the trick and make it very easy : zero, dot and enter.

Autodesk Flame is a high end 3D visual effects, advanced graphics, and 3D compositing application that is out of the price range of most beginners (in the high five figures!). To make matters worse, you can’t even download a trial version to learn it.

Editing with restraint

February 11, 2014, 11:24 AM

http://variety.com/2014/film/awards/editing-americ...

“Dallas Buyers Club” and “American Hustle” feature distinct stories, but share approaches to the use of both drama and comedy to tell them. The trick, their editors say, is rooting them in reality, while exercising restraint.
