Seminal Video from the 20th Century is Enhanced by Breakthrough Technology for the Next Century
For the first time ever and through the magic of technology, anyone can now star in the greatest music video of all time – Michael Jackson’s Thriller - as part of the album’s worldwide 25th anniversary celebration!
Michael Jackson and Epic/Legacy Recordings (Sony BMG) have
partnered with innovative media company Big Stage and YouTube to bring
this landmark entertainment experience to the world. Central to the
tribute is the ability for fans to easily create a life-like 3-D
version of themselves that literally replaces the role of Michael
Jackson in the music video. This cutting edge technology was developed
by Big Stage and is currently in Beta.
The campaign begins today at http://www.MichaelJackson.com/mythrillervideo
With Big Stage’s 3-D capture technology, users take three simple
pictures of themselves with a digital camera and upload them to the
Web, where they will be quickly converted into a life-like 3-D avatar
called an @ctor™. Big Stage’s proprietary technology will automatically
map the contours of a user’s face to generate an incredibly accurate
replica of the user, fully equipped for animation. In under a minute,
your @ctor will be born and fully alive through realistic movement and
gestures. Users can then style it with a host of accessories, from hair
to eyeglasses, tattoos, hats and more.
After users create and style their @ctors, they can drop them into the
library of Big Stage-enabled user and professionally created content or
Scenes. These highly personalized Scenes can then be shared by users
across everything from famous movie scenes, TV shows and video games,
to music videos, short video clips, virtual worlds, still images,
user-generated content, instant messages, e-mails, social networks and
more.
