Dear FilmRiot,

Could you guys maybe make a playlist with all your DIY tutorials. Not just because I am lazy but I might miss one or two. Much appreciated!

Thumbs up so Ryan can see!!

I'm supposed to be doing a biology report right now.

It's cool though, I'll just tell my teacher I was watching film riot instead.

She'll understand..

@MrShizzlez1

I'm supposed to be getting laid right now.

You know the rest...

[FeelDaBassProduction]

And you needed the All purpose cement for? What?? yea I dont get that part lol

[TitanProdigy]

@MrShizzlez1 always lol

[96Powerboy1]

hey ry,

the video I sent you just now uses some lighting techniques you show, let me know what you think!

[BrokenBoxProduction]

prob cost $30-$35 here....1 pipe is $14 :(

[chuksharmonieTV9]

mmmmmhhhhh...does the guy in a black top work out?.... he looks bigger now compared to the older episodes i saw...

[mauricetsai]

@saudoff2005 you fit the small PVC pipe into the big PVC pipe

the height extension is 1/2 PVC pipe

the one underneath is 3/4 PVC pipe

[mauricetsai]

so... I don't see the meaning of buying the cement @@

[navysnail]

i can't seem to fit a 1/2inch pvc into a 3/4inch pvc. I think I am using the wrong pvc. Make sure to get Plain End PVC.
