This tribute to Michael Jackson is not so much a music video as it is a true-life documentary about Josh commuting to work.

When asked why he erupts in such a fury of dance when Michael Jackson hits he simply stated, "Sometimes putting your feet up in the air just isn't enough."

Shot hand-held on the Panasonic GH1 1080/24 & 720/60 (for slow motion) using the kit lens. Edited in FCP.

Filmed and edited in under 24hrs.

Music - Dirty Diana / The King of Pop, Michael Jackson

Enjoy life!

umm going under the fountain on your way to work..priceless. lol
Mark Fry 4 months ago

Makes me realize what a great talent Michael was.
I really like the slo-mos fountain shots you obviously have talent.

I think you can do better from what I see.... consider sitting down and story boarding it ,do some retakes,spend some more time editing it and then grade the whole thing ...It shows great imagination and potential

good luck

I wish I could give this a million "likes!" Good to see our beautiful city featured in this clever Michael Jackson tribute. I've just begun a new career as a filmmaker/video editor and hope I can learn all of Final Cut's bells and whistles soon - your editing is fantastic!
