I'm not familiar with that particular filter, but for indoor shots I doubt you'll really need an ND filter.  Try some test shots in your target venues (or similar lit environments) without a filter and see if the footage works.

I am talking here about 46mm vs 52mm... It sounds like filter from the post will not match with camera from post...
