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

Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 Review

October 11, 2008, 06:05 PM

http://www.studiodaily.com/studiomonthly/currentis...

Just when we thought Premiere Pro for Mac or Windows was about as packed with features as it could get, Adobe has put even more actually useful niceties into the CS4 version of the venerable editing application. Building on its strengths of smooth interaction with other members of the Adobe club of apps, Premiere Pro included functionality and feature sets that were sorely needed in previous versions. There are also some unexpected surprises within the mix.

Posting HDTV Series

As the world turns to HD - the government mandate kicks in next year - we find that television post production pros are all over it, offering HD services to all comers. And on the front end, episodic producers have shown leadership, or at least intense curiosity, in acquiring on an HD format. Shows shooting on traditional 35mm or Super 16 have made the move to HD post production cycles that have proven to be stable and reliable...

A Production Premium

Avid has "New Thinking," Final Cut Pro has "Editing Unleashed." Now, with the major release September 23 of its Creative Suite 4 Production Premium, Adobe’s watchword is "Product Intelligence." But is it change we can believe in? The short answer is a resounding (though early) yes, as Adobe representatives explained in a recent media conference call. The company is rolling out new full versions of After Effects, Premiere Pro, Photoshop Extended, Illustrator, Flash Professional, Soundbooth...

What Editors Need to Know about the RED Workflow

September 13, 2008, 03:05 PM

http://www.videography.com/article/60708

We’ve seen the remarkable ability of the RED ONE camera to draw crowds at conventions and to tease our imaginations with the promise of recording digital cinema quality 4K images (4096x2304) at half the price of high-end HD cameras. But amidst the buzz we haven’t seen much proof of its production on the big screen—until now. Digital cinema projects shot with the RED ONE are finally making their way through postproduction, answering whether digital systems can wrestle with these massive fil...

RE-MADE MAN

The Holy Grail for digital restoration is definitely 4K. The Godfather and its indispensable sequel, The Godfather Part II, couldn't have been saved without it. Thanks to an assist from Steven Spielberg, who convinced Paramount Pictures to finance their full-digital restorations along with the re-mastering of The Godfather: Part III, the landmark Mafia saga arguably looks better than ever.

Tour de 'Source

August 14, 2008, 02:04 PM

http://www.editorsguild.com/v2/magazine/archives/0...

As a music editor, one of my most time-consuming tasks is just finding music, and I have always clung to the wish that I could find a one-stop place to shop for source music. And, taking that wish a step further, that after finding, cutting and clearing those obligatory "name artist" soundtrack tunes, I wish I could type in a few keywords and then head off to the beach. For me, that wish was answered when I discovered MasterSource’s online music library and accompanying MasterSearch...

How the West Was One

They say everything comes in threes. On September 9, Warner Home Video releases three home entertainment packages—a high-definition Blu-ray and two standard-definition boxed sets––of the restored How the West Was Won, MGM’s 1962 all-star Western epic that was one of only two narrative features shot entirely in the original Cinerama three-panel widescreen process (The Wonderful World of the Brothers Grimm was the other). The film won three Academy Awards––Best Screenplay (James R. Web...

Dan Lebental interview Part 3

August 5, 2008, 09:42 AM

https://www.aotg.com/dan-lebental-interview-part-3/

In this segment Dan gives us some great insights into the feature film editorial process. We discuss topics such as what it’s like screening the "first cut" with the director and starting out on the directors cut, bringing the length of IRON MAN down from 3.5 to it’s final running time of 2 hours, exploring variations of the film and reinventing scenes, and something he fondly refers to as "index card death row".
