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

Cloud editing used to mean proxies. New developments mean that original media files can be accessed anywhere, a boon for newsgathers, or anyone who doesn't want to be tied to a post house.

Ah... CES. It's that time of year when fresh calendars grace our walls - clean and unblemished, when the new year looks full of promise... and when the Videomaker staff prepares for its annual trek to Las Vegas for the International CES extravaganza!

Django Unchained is a long movie, but it easily could've been a much, much longer movie. Quentin Tarantino has said that a longer cut exists that he might release at a later point, and Samuel L. Jackson mentioned looking forward to the "five-hour director's cut."

Ahead of CES 2013 taking place in Las Vegas next week, Corning has unveiled a new optical Thunderbolt cable for folks who need extra long-reaching Thunderbolt access (perhaps to storage closets or for dummy terminals).

3D video is a polarizing subject. Hollywood loves 3D, due to increased ticket prices and classic blockbuster 3D re-releases. Television manufacturers are hopeful, thinking 3D might be a new way to get consumers to upgrade their newly purchased HDTV. Consumers, however, are lukewarm. Samsung is admittedly underwhelmed by the sale figures they’re seeing from 3D TVs, citing increased interest in Smart TVs. Hollywood is seeing the percent of ticket sales attributed to 3D dropping.

WELLINGTON, NZ — Warner Bros.’ The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey is the first of three movies based on the J. R. R. Tolkien introductory novel to The Lord of the Rings saga that could very well transform the movie-going experience.

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...

On December 17, Autodesk “finally” released Smoke 2013, the latest version of its Mac-driven editing and visual effects tool. I say finally because it was supposed to come to market in September, but ran into “some snags,” says senior product marketing manager Marc Hamaker. The extra time, however, allowed the company to take in even more user feedback — over 31,000 downloads were made during the beta period — enabling Autodesk to deliver an end product that’s “more aligned with ...

Once again it’s time to look back at the past year, decide what went well, what didn’t and what you would like to change. Me? I want a world where we can send our kids to school without fear, for hurricanes to cut that shit out, and the ability to run a marathon.
