3-MINUTE SHORT FILM (due Wednesday, October 23)
You have up to three minutes (doesn't have to be 3:00—could be 30 seconds!) to present a scary film—well, it doesn't have to be scary as long as it's Halloween or horror-themed. I'll try to honor lots of different short films in yet-to-be-determined categories. Most blood? Best costume? Scariest? Best acting? Who knows?!

![Ultimate Buyers Guide to ND Filters
Neutral Density Filters are a necessary tool for exposure control, but does their price tag really affect their quality? Today Griffin sits down with 23 ND filters that range in different price tiers from $5 all the way to $580 to see!
Today we hard tested 23 ND filters for their color and image quality, flare resistance, and their usefulness in timelapse situations. We test a range of ND’s from a set of general purpose ND3 filters, to Variable Density Filters, to heavily graded ND10 filters for their use in time-lapse photography. While every type of ND filter has it’s own use, we mainly set out to see if the price tag really affected image quality, and whether variable ND’s were much worse than single glass ND’s.
Below are all the ND filters we tested! ND Filters of denser grades (6 stops), that were not pictured on screen can be expected to have similar quality to their less dense counterparts (3 stops).
