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

Talking About Color in Black and White

Quick — describe the color of the ocean to someone who’s never seen it. Can you do it? Is it blue? Green? Something in-between? Describing the qualities of light and color can be difficult — even for color professionals — because the way each person experiences light and color is subjective. Or to put it another way: Is the dress blue and black, or white and gold? Wired magazine discusses some of the science of light and color that drove the Great Dress Debate of 2015. This subjec...

Color Science, Explained (Part 1)

June 24, 2015, 11:38 PM

http://blogs.adobe.com/creativecloud/color-science...

The theme of the 2015 release of Creative Cloud pro video tools is “Creativity just got a lot more colorful.” With color being such a hot topic at Adobe and beyond, we interviewed Lars Borg, Adobe’s resident color expert, and asked him to tell us more about color science and (in Part 2) what filmmakers and video enthusiasts can take away from such a deep field. Colors are a lot more than wavelengths on a spectrum. There’s a whole scientific field dedicated to the understanding of c...

‘Mad Max: Fury Road’ colorist Eric Whipp gets

How collaboration between the DP, VFX and color was key to the film’s look. By Randi Altman Warner Bros. Max Max: Fury Road is quite a ride, with intense action from start to finish, a ton of visual effects and some pretty unforgiving and sand-filled locations and weather. While this is a continuation of the Mad Max films of the past, you might notice a very different graphic look, and that was by design. Aussie director George Miller, who helmed the first three Mad Max features — in ...

A new technique…

There is something very exciting and motivating about finding a new technique. Sadly the more experienced we become as individuals and as a profession the less those truly inspired moments come. So I am happy to share this new find with you. Maybe I am not actually the first to have discovered it, but that does not diminish the moment for me at all. It is new to me and I have not seen it described elsewhere.
