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

Archive, backup and data protection for media professionals (Part 2-3)

The word Archive is actually very old. The Romans called a building where they stored scripture rolls that were no longer needed for daily work “archivum”. Today´s digital file archive does the same. It holds all finalized productions, projects and assets in one place. This way it becomes the only place to look for finalized files. This is what is called a "Single Source of Truth“.

Post|Production World is online and free

The Post|Production World conference is a staple of NAB Show and while we were planning to move full speed ahead for an in-person conference, the cancellation of NAB Show means PPW will, once again, move online. It seemed like the cancellation of NAB Show 2021 was inevitable when the vendors started dropping out. With no [...]Read More...

The upgrade treadmill

Given the resources put into upgrading film and TV equipment in the last couple of decades, it’d be easy to assume that we were working toward some sort of goal. For a while, in the early 2000s, that was perhaps true, although we stopped calling that goal “film look” pretty quickly. The problem is, even [...]Read More...

Using EXRs and DWA in After Effects

https://www.provideocoalition.com/using-exrs-and-d...

Codecs aren’t the most exciting thing to write about, but a recent update to After Effects included a tiny note that caught my interest.  The DWA compression option for EXRs now includes a quality setting.  It doesn’t sound like much, but EXRs with DWA have been my output / codec of choice for several years [...]Read More...

Are we too sensitive about image noise?

September 28, 2021, 08:42 AM

https://www.redsharknews.com/production/item/5626-...

Replay: Feature films of days gone past were really quite grainy compared to the pictures produced by a modern digital camera. We didn't complain too much then and just accepted it as part of the look. Should we be placing less emphasis on noise if it means a more emotionally resonant picture is produced?
