Description:
One goal of director Stan Winston’s collaboration with Michael Jackson was to create an animated skeleton that could magically dance just like the master. This was accomplished through the performance capture of Michael’s dancing on stage as the basis of the animated CG character. The skeleton was then comped into the live action plate photography.
