What this video covers

The Creative Geekery team produced a fan-made Ghostbusters trailer for a Ghost Tours of NYC project, filming the iconic Ecto-1 on real New York City streets and recreating a firehouse interior complete with proton packs and ghost traps. The production was shot guerrilla-style with no studio backing, leaning entirely on DIY ingenuity and passion for the franchise. After uploading, the trailer went unexpectedly viral, with many viewers convinced it was an official Ghostbusters release. The video covers the full behind-the-scenes journey alongside the finished trailer and audience reaction footage.
