This is the 26th 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 November 2017.

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