My Michael Jackson Tribute

When MJ died in 2009, i decided to make a tribute.

His music was good & the majority of his videos were too, but when i was a kid & watched Moonwalker, it was the Smooth Criminal video that blew my mind. The choreography, the lean, it was like magic captured on film. That video stuck with me & when i heard he died i watched it again & knew that if i was gonna do anything, it had to be the lean.

Most of the footage was unusable due to the camera i used, so i decided to take what i had & edit it together in windows movie maker. It was then that i remembered the Billie Jean effects. So i combined those two visual elements with my remix of Smooth Criminal & the end result is what you see above.

It’s cheesy & ridiculous at times, but it’s proof that windows movie maker is more useful than the majority would have you think.
