I’d like to introduce you to a new feature here on Filmmaking Lifestyle. Each month, I’m going to post a round-up post of the best things I’ve found around the web on filmmaking and video production.

We’re talking articles, videos, infographics, all sorts. Anything that stands out to me and that I think is worth keeping in an archive, I’m going to include in these reports.

I’ll be posting one of these at the end of each month, along with all the regular posts you get on Filmmaking Lifestyle as usual.

The Best Posts Of October 2015

This month has been pretty eventful in the world of filmmaking and video production!

Did you know there was a recent documentary shot on the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera? The film is called Junun and it was shot by There Will Be Blood director Paul Thomas Anderson.

Going Viral

Always cool to see how things were. This funny GIF went viral recently and shows how the well-known Old Spice commercial was filmed.

Speaking about how to go viral, on Filmmaking Lifestyle we featured an article in October all about the importance of social media for your video production business.

Always good to hear from Casey Neistat. This month, he posted this solid video tutorial entitled, Casey Neistat’s Guide to Filmmaking:
