Shooter's Comments:

We've been doing these public safety announcement videos with the Indiana State Police for some time now and they are progressively getting more creative. For Halloween, we went with a zombie theme and were fortunate to work with Paul Harrington and his crew at the Columbia City Haunted Jail.

We had a lot of fun filming and Paul is hilarious, as you can see from the outtakes. I did do some post-production to make it more "spooky," by adding some blue and a tilt-shift effect. I'm glad everyone was on board with this idea because it still brings the message without the boredom of just a talking head.
