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

Moving Up: Becoming An Editor
April 24, 2010, 06:59 PM
http://www.editorsguild.com/v2/magazine/Newsletter...
It used to be very simple. If you wanted to be an editor, you first apprenticed, then became an assistant. You observed everything your editor did, worked hard, learned the craft, and one day someone hired you to cut their film. Actually, it was never that simple, but there is no doubt that today’s progression from assistant to editor is much less clear. With the popularity of film schools, the decentralization of the entertainment business and the advent of digital technology that has...
Post NAB Review

NAB 2010 has come and gone, yet this year’s event seemed different to me on many levels. First, there seemed to be an anxious yet excited energy at this year’s show, and attendance was up from last year too. It’s like back to business––but what business is that? Things are changing so rapidly today that it seems impossible to keep up. Trying to keep up is the main reason I go each year. Here are my highlights from the show floor.

There are a number of effects that fall into the "grunge" or "distressed" category, including film grain, scratches and film defects, TV scanlines and light leaks. The last group is typically only available from stock footage houses as actual film clips, rather than as plug-in filter effects.

Avid Screencast - Color Correction V

One of the most common tasks when doing color correction is matching two shots. So this week and next, we’ll do exactly that. As always, I like working with the curves in Avid, but you should be able to use the skills learned in this tutorial when using the Color Wheels as well.
