Her friends and the film community are rallying to remember Jones in a movement called Slates for Sarah. Hundreds have shared photo tributes since the group started days after her death.

"She was really just an easygoing [person], loved to have fun and really enjoyed what she did kind of person," says her friend, Eric Henson. He and Jones were on a set in New Orleans when this photo was taken.

Crew members from the TV show "Glee" shared messages of "RIP Sarah Jones."

Jones worked on the set of "The Vampire Diaries" in Atlanta as a second camera assistant. Part of her job included marking the start of a take with a camera slate. Her co-workers shared this tribute in remembrance of her.

Buses of crew members from "Vampire Diaries" and other productions filming in Georgia were on their way to Jones' memorial in Columbia, South Carolina, on Wednesday afternoon.

The cinematography department at Full Sail University shared this tribute for Jones on Tuesday. The colorful tape is standard issue on film sets.

Within a day, the movement to honor Jones had spread beyond the United States. Workers at a camera rental house in Berlin were moved to share this photo tribute.

Crew members from the set of the TV show "Nashville" honor Jones. One of her duties as a camera assistant was to mark shots with a camera slate.

"I've had a lot of people saying, 'I haven't seen something like this in 30 to 40 years in the film industry,'" said Henson. "The solidarity of people coming together has really been incredible."

The Del Mar Theater in Santa Cruz, California, changed its marquee in honor of Jones.

Workers from the set of "Downton Abbey" shared their condolences. By Wednesday afternoon, more than 30,000 people had "liked" the Facebook group.

(CNN) -- Three members of the "Midnight Rider" moviemaking team have been indicted in the death of a camera assistant.

Randall Miller, Jody Savin and Jay Sedrish were charged Thursday with involuntary manslaughter and criminal trespass regarding the death of Sarah Elizabeth Jones, a camera assistant on the film. Jones was on the set of the Gregg Allman biopic when she was struck and killed by a freight train near Savannah, Georgia, on February 20.

The indictment notes that Miller and Savin are the owners of Unclaimed Freight Productions Inc., the film's production company. Sedrish was the executive producer.

Under Georgia law, involuntary manslaughter carries a potential sentence of 10 years. Criminal trespass, a misdemeanor charge, has a potential sentence of 12 months.

Film crew member killed by train

Six other crew members were also injured in the accident, which occurred when Jones and others were filming on train tracks in Wayne County, Georgia. A CSX train, moving at about 58 mph, came through and struck Jones.

After the incident, Jones became the subject of mourning in the film community. Friends set up a Facebook group, Slates for Sarah, and she was even noted in the Academy Awards' "In Memoriam" montage.
