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

Rosenblum Returns to His Romantic Comedy Roots

It's funny how it has taken director Edward Zwick and editor Steven Rosenblum, A.C.E., eight films together to return again to their thirtysomething TV roots from the 1980s. But that’s exactly what they’ve done with Love and Other Drugs, a romantic comedy about the cutthroat world of pharmaceutical sales and the rise of Viagra in the 1990s, starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway, which opens November 24 through 20th Century Fox.

Post Workflow ARRI Alexa pt. 2 - Apple FCP

November 12, 2010, 12:10 PM

Posting ARRI ALEXA’s ProRes clips is going to follow many of the established workflows. The fact that it’s a new camera doesn’t really make much difference. The camera generates direct-to-edit ProRes media with embedded timecode and reel IDs. These are self-contained files without a folder hierarchy to mess you up, like with P2 or XDCAM. These media files are immediately ready to edit with most modern...

7D Footage Natively with CS5

Without a doubt, the greatest challenge for HDSLR shooters has been editorial. I recently read of another new software that’s supposed to magically make your HDSLR footage palatable for the finicky Final Cut Pro. Why you would ever want to put yourself through the misery and expense of purchasing an additional piece of software that takes hours to work and may crash your computer just so you can cut with FCP is beyond me. The good news is, now you don’t have to...

Crossing the 'Rubicon' with New Workflow

"Bring the work back into the cutting room" is the mantra of Terry Kelley, A.C.E. To save both money and time producing television shows and movies, picture editor Kelley has established a new workflow procedure that has proven successful on two televison series—Showtime's Brotherhood (2006-2008) and the conspiracy thriller Rubicon, which just finished its first season on AMC.

Guild’s Newest Craftspeople Are Versatile

November 12, 2010, 12:05 PM

https://www.editorsguild.com/magazine.cfm?ArticleI...

The recent merger to bring IATSE Local 683’s 1,100 film and video laboratory technicians and cinetechnicians into the Motion Picture Editors Guild, Local 700, was more than just a strategically sound business move for both locals, although it was certainly that. After all, putting all post-production classifications under a single IATSE umbrella was probably overdue, given the industry's digital revolution. Thus, the merger happened with an eye toward making Local 700 "an all-post union,"...

POST PRODUCTION WEEK POST 4: LOVE YOUR BROWSER

November 11, 2010, 08:39 PM

I’ve already likened editing to lego in an earlier post, moving blocks around, sticking them together till they make something that works. Jan Bednarz, documentary filmmaker and partner in Buzz Films, is doing a project called the 10th Lego Master, about Duncan Titmarsh, an adult fan of lego (AFOL). In Jan’s teaser film Duncan shows us his lego shed...
