This is the 12th instalment of this feature here on Filmmaking Lifestyle, where we chart the best-of-the-best from around the filmmaking and video production world. This article covers the best posts from September 2016.

Every month, I post a round-up article featuring the best things I’ve found around the web on filmmaking and video production. If you missed one, we have a complete archive here.

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 post these articles at the end of each month, along with all the regular posts you get on Filmmaking Lifestyle.

The Best Posts Of September 2016

After winding down the summer period, it’s supposed to get more quiet around here. But both in my video production company’s terms, and Filmmaking Lifestyle terms, I’ve been busier than ever this month.

In fact, this month (September) ranks as the month with the post articles posted of all time. That’s pretty cool!

Yes, I’ve been busy around here and I’ll get into the new articles on the site down below. Just some admin stuff to get us kicked off first.

I wanted to mentioned again that I’m going all in on social media. As you might have noticed, my Instagram, Facebook and Twitter have had more posts on them than ever before. What do you think of the regular (once a day) quotes I’m putting up on Instagram?

I’d love to hear some feedback on this, and also if you have any particular types of filmmaking quotes you’d like to see me post. Are you interested in quotes from filmmakers/directors? Actors? Famous business people?

Let me know, as I’m always looking to improve what I’m putting out there!

With that said, it would be awesome if you could follow me at these places. I’d really appreciate it:
