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

'Gravity' Takes a Giant VFX Leap

October 7, 2013, 09:51 AM

Alfonso Cuaron smiled when I suggested that "Gravity" was pure cinema in the tradition of Hitchcock: the long, exploratory shots of Sandra Bullock floating in space with alternating points of view, tethered to a mise en scene of perpetual motion that's very musical: balancing primal terror with celestial beauty. The opening 13-minute shot alone will be studied for its visual and dramatic force.

How is it that the professional editor in a $20,000+ non-linear editing suite has to compete with the 18-year-old neighbor with a MacBook Pro and FCPX who lives in his mother’s basement?

This week, 2.9 million Adobe customers found out that their accounts were compromised by a hack of Adobe software. We called it horrendous. Adobe said that it may have been because some of its users were running older versions of its web development and application server, Coldfusion.

Using LUTs in my editing workflow

http://davidtregde.wordpress.com/2013/10/02/using-...

Because I'm in post production on my current project, I'm going to talk a little bit on how I use lookup tables (LUTs) in my workflow. According to Wikipedia, a 3D LUT remaps the color space of your image.  Traditionally, LUTs were used on high end monitors by editors and colorists to replicate what a…
