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

A Memento From Dody Dorn

Editor Dody Dorn stepped into the spotlight with her bravura work on director Christopher Nolan’s Memento, which featured a complex plot almost mathematical in its ordering of confusion to create clarity. Perhaps that’s related to her love of numbers since attending Hollywood High School and her first career goal - to become a math teacher. But her part-time job working the switchboard at her dad’s small shooting stage led into work as a PA, assistant location manager, assistant to the...

Dody Dorn grew up with the film industry in her blood. Her father worked as a set builder/designer and later as a movie producer. She was still in high school when she began working at his sound stage, Hollywood Stage, where she made the contacts that would ultimately allow her to find work in her chosen field--motion picture editing.

Introducing AV Foundation and the future of QT

QuickTime – the real OS-centric media framework, not the little sub applications that function as players – is transitioning from C APIs (Carbon) to Cocoa via QT Kit. Trouble is, QT Kit got a lot of work around QuickTime 7’s release, but not so much in recent years. And yet Final Cut Pro needs a lot of what’s not written, before it can release a Cocoa version of Final Cut Pro.

The episode when Philip explains how QuickTime’s flexibility caused difficulties when imported to Final Cut Pro, which leads to a discussion on what is QuickTime; how the event-based nature of QuickTime isn’t ideal for video and what would need to change. Plus what is a framework, QTKit and what development has happened in the Cocoa-ization of QuickTime, necessary for any future Cocoa 64 bit Final Cut Pro. And a short discussion on the pleasures of Flash.

My buddy Jared over at CalDigit sent me a drive and asked me to give it a test run. This drive was the CalDigit VR Mini. I own the big boy, the Caldigit VR, and I used it on a recent project that required me to travel (see my JFK post for the details on that).

When I was at NAB 2010, in April, walking around the floor, and I stopped by the iStorage booth. They had a few hard drive solutions and I am always looking out for options to recommend to people.
