Filming "The Effect"

I am currently involved in the 3rd senior capstone project for this year. Again, I am the assistant director and I love this job! We are filming "The Effect" written and directed by Scott Nearing. It is a zombie movie and has been so fun. This has been the most relaxing shoot but we are still so productive, it's awesome. Since I can share picture much better than I can spin words I've attached quite a few production stills from last weekend.
