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

Could We Split the Difference?

No matter who the client, or what the project, sooner or later you're going to be asked "can you split the difference?" between your interpretation of what the client wanted, and what they discovered they really wanted once they saw what you were up to.

The State of Shrinking Expos and Budgets

November 9, 2012, 07:02 PM

http://wordpress.quintessentialstudios.net/?p=554

I find it kind of sad to see expositions like DV Expo and Createasphere’s Entertainment Technology Expo shrinking in size. But, I guess, that's a sign of the times. I don't know what that sign represents but it's a sign of something. One thing I’ve found is that while there are less companies and attendees...

Thailand flood still inflating hd prices after 1yr

November 9, 2012, 07:00 PM

http://www.techspot.com/news/50768-thailand-flood-...

The Tech Report has taken a detailed look at hard drive prices, revisiting them more than one year after the devastating Thailand floods which stifled mechanical drive production. What their analysis uncovers is likely what storage consumers had been fearing: the vast majority of hard drives are still considerably more expensive than their pre-flood price tags.

Setting Standards for High Frame Rate PT 2

November 9, 2012, 06:57 PM

http://magazine.creativecow.net/article/setting-st...

As part of our ongoing look at the future of HFR production and exhibition, we spoke with Michael Karagosian, co-chair of SMPTE's High Frame Rate Study Group, about his thoughts on 3D, digital cinema and HFR. As filmmakers push the limits of technology to deliver a more impactive storytelling experience, SMPTE seeks to understand and codify HFR standards, from camera capture to the silver screen.
