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

Editor's Letter: Sharing NAB product details

March 12, 2011, 11:43 AM

NAB isn’t until next month, but I am already tired. It seems as though companies are trying to get the word out on their new offerings even earlier than usual. While some product makers want their info out there immediately, others like Harmonic Omneon’s Geoff Steadman feel that it’s hard to be heard over the clutter of news being introduced at the show.

Edit Suite Design 2011

March 12, 2011, 11:42 AM

http://digitalfilms.wordpress.com/2011/03/12/edit-...

It’s time to revisit an old subject for a new year – configuring a post production suite. Poke through these past articles and you’ll get plenty of ideas about how to build the room and what to put in it. Another great source for inspiration is just to scan through the "Rig of the Day" photos at FinalCutters. In this post, I’m going to concentrate on the system numbers based on early 2011 prices and options. This spreadsheet is the basis for my estimates (download here).

Post Script: Reality TV

March 12, 2011, 11:41 AM

I don’t watch a whole lot of TV. For the most part, cable news plays in the background as I focus on any number of different hobbies — usually in a different room. But, when I do find time to sit in front of the set, I find myself gravitating toward unscripted programming. Not the Kardashians or the Real Housewives, but the shows you’d find on History, Discovery and A&E. Sons of Guns is pretty cool, but I think it’s probably a guy thing. Hoarders and Confessions: Animal Hoarding are just...

Reality TV

Admit it. You watch them — those unscripted television programs, where unpredictability and drama equal big ratings. The networks know it too and are constantly refining concepts and challenges to keep audiences interested.

These days there are more and more avenues available to reach audiences, and creatives are taking advantage of as many as possible. Want to find a way to literally put the audience into a commercial? Have an idea for a wacky TV series that might not get past the suits at a big network? Looking to take visual storytelling to a new level with the iPad? Currently, it's all possible.

Editing HDSLR footage natively

March 12, 2011, 11:37 AM

http://www.postmagazine.com/Publications/Post-Maga...

With the wild success of HDSLR cameras from both Canon and Nikon, there is a renewed interest in editing H.264 media natively, using the video files that are transferred directly from the camera into your editing system. H.264 is the video format that these cameras use for capturing their images. Editing natively saves time because you don’t need to transcode your video. And H.264 files are very small, compared to other video file formats.

At Sundance: "Death to the Tinman" Edito

In this installment of the Avid podcast, director Ray Tintori and editor, Par Parekh talk about resurrecting Ray's original thesis project at Wesleyan University as a film submission to the Sundance Film Festival. Originally shot in 16mm and edited on a Steenbeck, Ray and Par tell us how they took this adaptation of L. Frank Baum's story, "The Tin Woodsman of OZ", to the world of non-linear editing. They also bring us up to date on their...
