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

90to5 Editing Challenge is back - whoohoo!!

http://challenge.90to5.org/2014/06/editing-challen...

We are super excited! And ready, right in time for the world-cup. No, wait – you can’t watch football and edit at the same time, do you? Research showed that only 2% of people can multitask successfully. So the challenge actually starts in a couple of weeks… but we already work hard behind the scenes to get the 2014 edition off the ground…

Beyond The Cut: The Future of Movies and Neuroscie

May 15, 2014, 10:04 AM

http://www.fastcocreate.com/3030401/beyond-the-cut...

In 1903, a 10-minute silent film by director Edwin Porter revolutionized filmmaking. The Great Train Robbery was the first film to employ cross cutting to create narrative. In the movie, a train is shot moving left to right in one frame. In a second shot, the bandits are shown riding their horses from right to left. When these shots are placed one after the other, the bandits appear to be riding toward the train. “These cuts create narrative,” explains Sergei Gepshtein, a neuroscientist at t...

Movies Without Cuts: A Scientist’s Experiments

few days ago at Pacific Standard, Jennifer Ouellette profiled Sergei Gepshtein, a neuroscientist with a dream: to eliminate cutting from movies as much as possible. Gephstein studies human perception and the window of visibility. What Gephstein’s doing is tracking how human eyes respond to basic images: the visual example you can see in the profile concerns a series of lines forming the shape of a cube. The brain has to sort out whether it’s “seeing” the cube from above or below. “Eith...

Easter eggs in After Effects: a new hunt

Take part in a hunt for a newer Easter egg, which might seem like a snark hunt of a mythical beast. First clue: "plabt", a typo for plant, the "factory" where pulsating brains assemble AE bits according to Dan Wilk. Second clue, another hint for the plabt egg(s?) is a feature introduced in CS4, with the last step of typing the word plabt.
