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

CULVER CITY - Editor Peter S. Elliot and assistant editor Rob Molina were part of the team that cut Roland Emmerich’s new apocalyptic feature 2012. The film stars John Cusack, Amanda Peet, Danny Glover and Chiwetel Ejiofor, and was shot digitally using the Genesis camera, though 35mm was used for some underwater sequences.

Wes Plate: President, Automatic Duck

Automatic Duck provides solutions for video editors needing to move between applications. To understand what they offer we need to step back in history. When Final Cut Pro appeared on the video scene in 1999 the professional world was entrenched with AVID. TO move an AVID project to Final Cut Pro or from Final Cut Pro to AVID was not a simple process.

Jason Levine, Share the love with CS4

In this demo recorded at the FCPUG NAB SuperMeet, Jason's charismatic style comes though as he shows off key technologies with Adobe's CS4 suite of applications. See how simple it is to bring a Final Cut Pro project into Adobe Premiere Pro, to then work with this content in After Effects and to author Blu-ray discs using Adobe Encore. Jason also shows how to make use of the Speech Transcription technology whilst editing.

Making the right Connection

Since she discovered her passion for post-production while studying film at the University of California Santa Barbara, there was nothing up in the air about the career choice of Dana Glauberman, A.C.E. Originally interested in photography, she took a production class that had her doing everything from writing to directing and producing. It was that class––and cutting her Super-8 short film––that opened her eyes to the joys and wonders of editing.

Fixing Television, One Show at a Time

To hear Stuart Bass, A.C.E., talk about television editing, one might think he has an insouciant attitude towards his craft. "Editing comedy is a specific talent...it’s just difficult to say what that talent is," he says glibly. According to his website, www.filmbutcher.com, he has written or has been a contributor to such books as How to Get Ahead in Hollywood Without Any Talent and Make Sure the Below-the-Line People Stay There...

Despite the proliferation of eBooks and the Internet, publishing of actual books on paper about motion pictures continued strong in 2009. As we move into the second decade of the 21st century, editing technologies are highly volatile. But the need for reference manuals that one can carry about and easily access endures. Here is a holiday garland of recent books that post-production professionals and movie buffs may find essential reading.
