What can I do about this ND filter problem for a scene shoot?

[Ryan Elder]

I’ve also watched all the film riot episodes pretty much but I feel that my questions are not quite covered by them, as I ask to compare one thing to another a lot, and they do not do a lot of comparisons, when discussing things.

I’ve also tried a lot of his methods but they didn’t work for me. For example, I built the DIY steadicam, but it kept falling apart. I built the DIY boompole, but it kept making too much noise when shifting it from actor to actor. So some of his stuff has helped, but others has not and I found it all to be hit or miss, which is not a bad thing, as I don’t think all of it will work for me.

Also you say not to shoot in story order, but who says I was shooting in story order?

Plus I’ve already shot low stakes scenes for other short films, and I feel like it’s time to move up. When I ask questions like what piece of equipment is better for this and what not, that is me asking for moving up. I’ve been shooting low stakes scenes for years now, and have already went to film school, so I feel that it’s time to move on to projects stories that have higher stakes.

I know I’m going to regret this, but which film school was that? Because a lot of your questions should have been addressed back there already.

In another forum, Ryan Elder (aka ironpony) claims he goes to the Recording Arts Institute of Saskatoon.

He typically posts under the username “ironypony” on a lot of other forums since 2013. He has been recently been asking basically the same questions and having the same responses on another forum recently as well (I suspect he’s banned at the others). Given that he has been at these detailed questions for five years, it’s curious that his YouTube channel is mostly filled with copyright infringing clips of other movies, with two original clips that seem to be sourced from the same project.

Well what we learned in school we learned on more expensive and luxurious equipment where I was trying to hope to find solutions that might not cost too much money in comparison.

You don’t even have the fundamentals down yet, so you’re getting way too ahead of yourself.
