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

Comedy Editing Pt. 3

March 17, 2010, 12:09 PM

Multi-cam shows are recorded from first scene to last in front of an audience with three or four cameras. The cameras, labeled A, B, C, and D, are maneuvered by a cabled gang of four camera operators who travel up and down the stage, getting their assigned shots. D camera is frequently called X camera or referred to as the Iso camera as it’s often an isolated camera, running independent of A, B, and C. The Iso cam picks up isolated angles and may run only 50% of the time.

PVC gets a lot of traffic. We’d like to grow our forums more and the best way to do that is with some folks volunteering to be forum moderators.

Glitches - Animation From MPEG STREAMCLIP

March 16, 2010, 12:08 PM

http://blog.youdownwithfcp.com/2010/03/16/glitches...

I recently found a weird glitch exporting an animation file from MPEG streamclip 1.9.2. For whatever reason it really bogged down nuke, making the tracker take 4x longer. This didn’t happen with prores, and it didn’t happen with an animation video exported out of compressor. It only bogs down with the animation codec from streamclip.

Interview with the Creator of FCS Mainenance Pack

If you’re a serious Final Cut Pro user then you are probably aware of Digital Rebellion and the tools that they make. Be it their popular Video Footage Calculator, Preference Manager for Final Cut Studio or the recently released FCP Versioner (which I reviewed on PVC) these tools tend not to be flashy but rather very, very useful.

We will be doing another interview, similar to the one we just did with Daryl Baskin last week, but this time with Lance Stubblefield. Lance has worked on LOST since the first season, starting as an assistant editor and has made the jump to editor for an episode last season and a few times this season.

FCP-NES Nintendo Editing System

This project came simultaneously with the cheapskate version of the creative controller. I decided to do both, because they have different results and levels of difficulty. To sum up the premise: in an edit I want to give the reviewer the ability to stop and start playback and scroll through the edit using an old NES controller.

Coates of Many Colors

Few picture editors other than Anne V. Coates, A.C.E., have collaborated with such a wide variety of directors over a time span well surpassing half a century. With an editing career of 63 years––and still counting––Coates arguably has been working in cutting rooms longer than anyone else in film history, recently surpassing the impressive longevity of legendary editor Margaret Booth’s work history. And she’s not about to stop now; she’s currently considering two projects.
