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

No, you can’t do that now...not without third party plugins. But I wanted to mention two situations of me needing to do this recently, and two of the third party options I used.

Walter Murch Reaches Out to Ebert about 3D

Walter Murch is about as close as we in post-production will come to a rock star/Renaissance man. He’s a picture editor, sound editor, writer, technologist and thinker. He’s now somewhat of an anti-3Der and he lays out his case in a letter to film critic Roger Ebert. Here’s a tease:

Why 3D doesn't Work A letter from Murch to Eb

I received a letter that ends, as far as I am concerned, the discussion about 3D. It doesn't work with our brains and it never will. The notion that we are asked to pay a premium to witness an inferior and inherently brain-confusing image is outrageous. The case is closed. This letter is from Walter Murch, seen at left, the most respected film editor and sound designer in the modern cinema. As a editor, he must be intimately expert with how an image interacts with the audience's eyes. He...

USB 3.0 is quite new and not many computers are fitted with support for it. There are some USB 3.0 Host Adapters available, however their speeds might be different for each model. The video below shows a test of two adapters, CalDigit and Lacie. The CalDigit card was 20% better on Read and 40% better on Write speeds when compared to the Lacie card. Check out the video...

Timothy Dashwood can be best described as a "Jack of All Trades," constantly swapping hats as Director, DP, & Editor.
