These 10 filmmaking sites, ranging from the creative to the technical, will help you step up your game!<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a>My previous post on some of the best filmmaking sites<\/a><\/strong> was met with popularity, so I decided to add 10 more sites. \u00a0If you’re specifically interested in great web resources for post production check out my previous post here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The following 10 sites represent more of the best online resources to improve your skills and keep updated with the filmmaking industry<\/strong>. \u00a0Some of the sites focus on gear, some on process, some on both. \u00a0The list is in no certain order. These are all great sites by people passionate about filmmaking and cinematography – <\/strong>be sure to bookmark them!<\/p>\n

\"Kino<\/p>\n

Kino-Eye<\/a>\u00a0keeps its focus on documentary film and new media. They have a Feature section that covers technique, reviews, and interviews.
