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

We recently sat down with Niven Howie, editor on Resident Evil: Afterlife (3D) to get a bit of insight into how he approached cutting his first 3D feature, how he changed his approach to editing and what advice he would give to fellow editors about to embark on their first 3D film.

Avid at the 129th AES Show

The final countdown to the AES show in San Francisco has begun and we couldn't me more excited. The convention kicks off on Thursday and we just can't wait to show off all the new releases we’ve brought to the market recently. But there’s more going on at AES than just new product show & tell. Appearing on our main stage at the Avid booth - and in workshops and panels at the show itself - there are going to be some incredible opportunities to hear professionals speaking first had about the.....

Glyph Production Technologies Portable RAID

Glyph Production Technologies will begin shipping its new portable RAID-protected storage device, the PortaGig 62, following the AES show, the second week of November. Modeled after Glyph’s successful GT 062E, a larger desktop RAID, the PortaGig 62 has two 5400 or 7200RPM drives inside, and is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand. A quiet internal fan provides maximum airflow and proper cooling - critical to the performance and reliability of the components.

What IS the Big Deal With FCP - A Response

November 1, 2010, 11:13 AM

http://dylanreeve.com/videotv/2010/what-is-the-big...

Recently a blog post from Neil Sadwelkar titled "What’s the big deal about FCP" made the rounds of the post people on Twitter. It’s an evaluation of Final Cut Pro, mainly comparing it to Avid Media Composer. This is obviously nothing new, there are probably hundreds of such blog posts around the net, but this one was a little special simply because of it’s massive wrongness... Neil doesn’t seem to be approving comments on his blog post, so I thought I’d post my points in response here.

Glyph Triplicator

This device mounts on your desktop as one drive while simultaneously downloading to up to 3 external destinations at the same speed if it were one drive. Amazing hardware driven technology. As boring as it is, data management is now a big part of the job and a product like this theoretically makes the process a little less painless. We'll see..

November Back Up Reminder

November 1, 2010, 11:08 AM

http://www.scottsimmons.tv/blog/2010/11/01/backup-...

A monthly backup of your system should be a minimum (hence these reminders) so you might consider something like CrashPlan for automated backups. I’ve been using it for a couple of months now and like it so far. The next thing I need to test is restoration as a backup is only as good as being able to get the info back.

Fast Cutting: Lyndon Barber goes on a crusade

October 31, 2010, 11:03 PM

THRILLERS by definition have always aimed to excite the viewer, using a battery of techniques. Classics such as Alfred Hitchcock's North by Northwest and the early Mad Max, Die Hard, Alien and Terminator films were constructed around brilliantly structured sequences that amounted to miniature symphonies of tension and release, full of excitement, suspense, relief and shock. In the late 1980s and the 90s, Hong Kong films, especially the bullet ballets of John Woo, revolutionised the genre...

Grading the Graders Pt. 1

October 31, 2010, 11:00 PM

http://mikemost.com/?p=204

There seems to be a lot of talk these days about color grading, and a lot of it seems to revolve around what system represents the best solution given a particular set of circumstances. In a lot of these discussions, there seems to be a lot of attention paid to using general purpose platforms, such as nonlinear editors like Final Cut, Avid Media Composer, and Premiere Pro, for this purpose...

Friends of the late Karen Schmeer, the documentary film editor whose credits include Errol Morris’s Fast, Cheap and Out of Control and Greg Barker’s Sergio, have honored their colleague by creating a fellowship for editors. They have partnered with ACE, SXSW, IFFBoston, the Manhattan Edit Workshop, and Powell’s books for this program intended to help-and-coming documentary editors while remembering Schmeer’s extraordinary accomplishments.
