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

Back in May, I wrote about FcpReconnect as one answer to Apple Final Cut Pro’s less-than-robust media management. In this entry, I’ll cover Matchback Magic, a handy application developed by Philip Hodgetts and Dr. Gregory Clarke of Intelligent Assistance to make FCP media bullet-proof. Through the Assisted Editing product line, they’ve developed a number of workflow tools that leverage the power of XML for Final Cut Pro users.

Cutting For Quentin: An Interview with Sally Menke

August 27, 2010, 11:21 AM

http://orangecow.org/articles/sallymenke.html

Sharp dialogue. Splintered chronology. Bursts of extreme violence. Obscure film references. Quentin Tarantino burst onto the American film scene in the early 90s, like an adrenaline shot to the heart. He won an Oscar and a BAFTA for the screenplay to Pulp Fiction (with Roger Avary), and was nominated for Best Director, with BAFTA nominations for Best Director and Best Film. Editor Sally Menke was nominated for the Oscar and BAFTA, and has been there every step of the way, providing the brilliant

Wes’ Home Depot How-To

Back in the late 90s I edited a few national Home Depot commercials, and after this was one was produced I made this fun little video explaining the process. I love a good behind the scenes / how-to / how we did it piece that breaks down a complex shot or goes into some detail on how a visual effects sequence was created.

Scene Breakdowns: The Wild Bunch part 1

August 26, 2010, 03:27 PM

http://glenmontgomeryiii.com/http:/glenmontgomeryi...

First off I have to apologize. In my excitement to start doing these breakdowns I chose a scene from a movie I had seen in the last couple days. That is not why I am apologizing. I have gained a lot from doing this exercise; there is a lot of power in analyzing something shot by shot that you don’t get from just watching the scene play out as a part of the whole feature and even from watching the scene over and over by itself. I am apologizing because it’s a long one.

Zoom Your Keyframe Graph

August 26, 2010, 03:24 PM

http://splicehere.org/2010/08/26/zoom-your-keyfram...

To properly control advanced keyframes, you need to see your keyframe graph clearly. Here’s an example. Let’s say you’re adding a push-in to a shot. You apply a resize effect, add a keyframe at the beginning and end, and increase the scaling at the tail keyframe. Then you play the effect. Instead of a smooth push from head to tail, your move starts slowly and comes to a stop at the end. What’s going on?
