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

The jumbo-sized facility was built to make solar panels, but even with First Solar on a big upswing now, that plan was torpedoed for good by the great solar manufacturing collapse of 2010-11, which unfolded after China went on a crazed panel-making binge. And now that big empty building in Arizona is going to Apple, to be used by a company called GT that supplies specialty glass for i-things.

Hollywood movies are large, expensive productions, and so in order to cut costs, sound editors will often lift pre-existing sound effects from a large library rather than go out into the field and record some new ones themselves.

There was a posting on several of the leading user forums (as seen here) from someone who needed to import WAV files recorded from a Roland Edirol R4. These devices are great for music type recordings, but are lacking when it comes to double system production and postproduction needs. Inspired by the question and the challenge, the following PDF describes the steps to get from this...

Whatever happened to the mainstream art film? Those daring, high-minded movies for adults and serious filmgoers, which flew the art house and into the megaplex on the wings of word-of-mouth and studio support, are dying. Now streaming, here are some of the most important, taboo-breaking films that define the commercial art today.

With Pro Tools 11, we now have the ability to bounce and bring back in in one movement, an audio stem. This bounce feature can be useful in many ways, but one way I discovered this evening is a quick tool for cleaning up the noise floor in ttracks.

It's so easy to live in a small world on cruse control. We see and talk to the same people, the routine of life makes everyday easy. The moment there is a challenge, it can feel like the world is ending. Today, I met up with the girls who volunteer with the video department. I…
