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

Tascam DR-70D Audio Recorder Just I was preparing to buy a different Tascam audio recorder, namely the DR-60D, a new device has been introduced called the Tascam DR-70D Audio Recorder. Although the electronic specs for both devices are pretty much the same in terms of audio quality, there is a difference in the physical design of the Tascam DR-70D Audio Recorder that make it a better fit for my use. First of all, the overall dimensions of the unit have […] The post Tascam DR-70D Audio Rec...

How to create Super Mario Bros Sound Effects

Audio for visual effects is extremely important. High quality and suitable sounds are essential when adding authenticity and impact to your effects. Therefore I tend to spend quite a lot of time searching the internet for license free audio that I can use. I then spend some more time layering and processing these sounds to create something unique that suits the visual effect I am trying to create.

Field Mixer Audio Bags Revolutionized

November 10, 2014, 01:33 PM

http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/CrewsControl/~3/iW6...

I’ve worked in the motion imaging production business for over 20 years and I’ve never seen anything like the audio mixer bag from Orca Bags. The bag has a nice clean exterior presentation and comes in black with blue trim. But the trim isn’t a window dressing it’s actually an aluminum frame to maintain the shape of the bag. This means it will keep the same shape after years of field use and protect its’ precious cargo as well. (Let’s be honest, this is something we have all wan...
