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

Charles Yeager offers a couple of quick tips for getting footage that has been sped-up to look more believable and realistic. There are times when you would want to have some footage play back faster than it was shot, but simple chaining the speed at which the clip plays may give you more pronounced visual distractions that will loose the sale of the shot.

He had a pretty hands off approach to the visual effects, relying on Angus to interpret what he wanted. Ultimately, the visual effects needed to be invisible and photorealistic, not interrupting the narrative in any way. We concentrated on being as subtle and historically accurate as possible.
