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

Pulling Back the Curtain

The first time I saw The Wizard of Oz, I was struck by the scene where The Great Oz directs Dorothy to "pay no attention to the man behind the curtain." As in, "Never mind what’s actually happening, just pay attention to the way things seem... we have an image to protect here." File that under the same category as...

There are various stages in the digital video workflow process, however, one of the most critical and challenging is encoding, since this step has a direct impact on the ultimate quality of the viewing experience. With the many complexities that are involved in video encoding, this step can make or break the end product if the "right" solution is not selected.

Editing on Another Planet

When director James Cameron realized that editor James Cameron, A.C.E., was going to need a larger team to help navigate the brave new world he was creating for Avatar, he turned to two editors who, in their own right, have themselves often been at the leading edge of technologically challenging projects: John Refoua, A.C.E., and Stephen Rivkin, A.C.E.

Dream Capturers Cameron's Brave New World

January 10, 2010, 07:47 AM

https://www.editorsguild.com/magazine.cfm?ArticleI...

One thing James Cameron, A.C.E., will never be accused of is not having big enough dreams. It’s a good thing he writes them down. The Terminator, created in the late 1970s out of a fevered dream in a Rome hotel room, was the invention of a young, unknown director, who had to wait nearly six years for his vision to gain a studio. Then in the mid-1990s, Cameron, in almost Edgar Rice Burroughs-like fashion, imagined a fully realized alien world called Pandora (actually a moon, to be precise)...

Otherworldly Workflow

https://www.editorsguild.com/magazine.cfm?ArticleI...

If you think that unwrapping the mysteries of transcoding file-based camera footage provides its challenges, you will find the post-production workflow on Avatar either very scary, or a completely visionary model of things to come. Learning and creating as needs arose, picture editors James Cameron, A.C.E.; John Refoua, A.C.E.; and Stephen Rivkin, A.C.E.; as well as assistant editor Jason Gaudio and producer Jon Landau, have created a unique process that was centered completely on director...

Assisting the Digital Age Avatar's Joason Gaudio

January 10, 2010, 07:44 AM

https://www.editorsguild.com/magazine.cfm?ArticleI...

When first assistant editor Jason Gaudio joined Avatar’s editorial staff in October 2006, he was no stranger to visual effects-laden films, having been an assistant visual effects editor on Cameron’s Titanic (1997) and Michael Bay’s Armageddon (1998). As a first assistant, his credits later included Brad Silberling’s Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events (2004) and Gil Kenan’s Monster House (2006), which provided Gaudio with an early education in the evolving world of perfo...
