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

The average film has around 1250 individual shots. Action films and Blockbusters often have more than 3000 individual shots. This can be attributed to the ongoing trend of Chaos Cinema and the tendency to create false pace and momentum by simply cutting so frequently that it constantly bombards the viewer with new shots and information. This can become overwhelming and it creates a disconnected and jumbled viewing experience that assaults the audience. The frenetic pace exists but the audience c...

A common issue in news & documentary post-production is prepping footage shot with cell phones in "vertical portrait mode" for 16x9 HD broadcast. New in Boris Continuum 10 plug-ins is BCC Reframer. This new filter gives Avid & Adobe editors the ability to quickly reframe & stylize cell phone footage into 16x9 - with added tools for FG & BG blur, glow, sharpen, color correction - all within the one layer effect.

Having a super clean computer setup in your editing bay isn’t something that will totally change your day-to-day workflow, but considering the fact that it’s quite easy and cheap to organise your stuff these days there is really no excuse not to do so. Plus, keeping all your cables neat and well-organised will save you a ton of inconveniences and troubles while working, so spending some time and effort in managing these in advance will definitely pay off in the end.

Today we are launching our new online store to streamline and simplify the payment experience. You now have more choices with regards to billing and we've simplified the process of purchasing products like CinePlay which are linked to a Digital Rebellion account. Furthermore, the new store provides us with a lot more flexibility and paves the way for new products later in 2016. This is just the beginning and we will be adding new features to the store as the year progresses.
