BTS : "THE HOSPITAL"
HALLOWEEN is special every year for many many reasons . One of them is of course . Candy . Second reason . awesome costumes . Third . chocolate candy . Fourth . Quest's Halloween Party . Fifth . drinking lots of candy at the Quest Halloween Party and the last reason ... Quest Halloween Party's less popular title , The Quest Anniversary Party .
This year , instead of celebrating with the usual debauchery and last minute team costume shopping , we decided to embark into uncharted territory . The idea of a dance concept video is nothing new in the age of youtube but for one reason or another Quest has never done one as a crew . We spent a good chunk of a month plotting , planning , and executing our well plotted plans . And thanks to our many friends and supporters , we came out with a product we are very proud of .
Above is the video "The Hospital" and below are some behind the scenes photos I took during the shooting process . Watch it ! it's not that scary ... or is it ...
it's really not ...
or is it ...
it's not
