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

Terence and Philip start discussing the tape shortage crisis – particularly HDCAM SR – caused by the situation in Japan: is tape dead, or will it merely lead to a resurgence of D5? Who’s accepting file-based delivery, is that even practical, and who gets to drive the need for tape delivery?

Here’s a short excerpt from the 2005 DVD ’The Work of Director Mark Romanek’ that talks about the making of the Johnny Cash music video for "Hurt." Romanek discusses how he initially conceived and shot a very straightforward performance music video in the home of Cash. It wasn’t until the edit that they decided to add some archival footage, to add more emotional depth to the video...

A few days ago, Julian Semilian sent me his tribute to Bernard Gribble, ACE, a film editor who died in 2004. I was so struck by what Julian wrote that I wanted to share it with you.

Sometimes a plan works. In my last blog I described a technique to force myself to get things done by setting a self imposed embargo on the fun narrative work until the various day job and TV work is completed. So far, so good. I’m now 75% done with another episode of FRAMELINES, caught up on outstanding day job work, and well on my way to getting to the personal project.

Last year Blackmagic Design brought in its showstopper: DaVinci Resolve on the Mac for $1,000. No one expects that type of repeat performance at this year's NAB Show, but as the early tips come trickling in, this year is still shaping up to be pretty awesome.

CalDigit has a established a reputation as a supplier of high-quality, high-performance RAID arrays that are ideally suited for editing HD video footage. Now CalDigit has moved into the space dominated by LaCie, Maxtor and G-Technology—that of the smaller desktop drives. CalDigit's entry is the AV Drive, which consists of a single 1TB or 2TB drive mechanism housed in a slim aluminum case.

Most editors are familiar with the happy little accidental cuts that almost create themselves as we work, which I called accidental editing in an earlier post. For me, it is always an exciting moment of discovery; the voice in my head says, "did you see that?" While I find these anomalies happen more in the early stages of a cut, when one works more loosely, they can occur at any time, keeping the editor of all people on the edge of his/her seat.
