What is the benefit of the scrim over a ND filter?

Rolls of ND gel are reflective and have a curl memory, so you generally need to cut them to size and apply them directly to window glass.

An ND net in a scrim frame can be placed behind your subject in an outdoor interview to bring down the background exposure. You could also put an ND net on the outside of a window, as long as there's not too much wind creating ripples.
