How cool would this have been to see???
One of the closely guarded secrets from Michael Jackson‘s “This Is It” concert spectacular was going to be a new 3D mini-film, nicknamed the “Dome Project.”
Jackson finished shooting the project only two weeks ago. It included recreations of the Thriller music video in which “the audience would have felt like they were visiting the Thriller experience, like they were there,” according to Vince Pace, the man behind the 3D cameras used for the shoot.
Wow.
That would have been awesome!
The production took 5 weeks to complete with only a week of actual shooting, most of which the King of Pop was present for. Said Pace, “To think that Michael’s gone now, that’s probably the last documented footage of him to be shot in that manner.”
Sadly, Jackson’s frail demeanor was evident to the crew on the 3D shoot even a few weeks ago. Michael introduced himself to the whole crew and walked “with a spring in his step,” but needed assistance when walking down steps.
Along with the recreation of the Thriller set, a “lush jungle” set was built for “This Is It”, as well as a replication of a construction site including “scantily clad male dancers wearing carpenter’s belts.”
We’re sure this footage will be released…eventually.
