[SpidermanVenom2099]

0:40 - 0:52 OMG IT MUST REALLY SUCK BEING STUCK LIKE THAT FOR EVEN JUST 10 SECONDS! SHE'S A GREAT ACTRESS!

[FlyingMonkeyPoop]

@SpidermanVenom2099 lol...Thanks!! Jess has brought to my attention that I make her play dead in quite a few of my projects, so she's had practice.

BTW love your username.

You made me sign in.  I signed in to tell you, one film guy to another, great work. I see your prep work and hours of rehearsal and it paid off for you in dividends. Keep up the good work, you will be a great film maker one day soon. Michael would smile.

[FlyingMonkeyPoop]

@dmproduction100 Thank you! It's always nice to hear positive feedback from a fellow film maker.

no lean?

[FlyingMonkeyPoop]

@robotech987654321 We tried. That was the part I spent days trying to figure out how we could do it. Sadly nothing worked out.

[kiwikenobi]

Wow! That was really cool! Great job!

[Musicinmelover]

[FlyingMonkeyPoop]

Sorry I meant the Z1U and Z7U

[cressur]

Awesome, support this MAN!

[joelrios01]

Awesome video, I want to see more from this guy. Good stuff.

[PenguinGen]

Smooth.

[o0Anth0ny0o]

Oh yeah =) I like !! Great job ;)

[yolei86]

Good job. If, in the future, you decide to do another video with dancing, let me know because I do know of a pretty decent dance team...depends on the song, but something may be possible...

And of course your video was awesome :D I faved it

[massxillusion]

Fairly entertaining. Dancing was a bit slow, but definitely worth watching.

[FlyingMonkeyPoop]

Thank you for your comment.

I know the dancing wasn't all out MJ but we had 8 non-dancers and five rehearsals. So we did what we could.

Although I've decided that if I do another music video I'll bring in dancers rather then have the film crew do

it.

Again thanks for the comment. Tell your friends...(good things I hope)

[BABYROCKONE]

I LOVE IT!

[SoeunAngels]

The MV was really professional looking, except I really did think that the dancing parts were a bit slow.

and I definitely need to praise the camera guy/girl. The videoing is reallllllly good. I assume that a very professional type DV was used.

Does this group take requests?

[FlyingMonkeyPoop]

Thank you for your comments.

As for the dancing, it's a bit slower then the MJ version he danced to the song playing at 102% speed ...we just barely got it down at 100%.

As for the Camera guys/girls they were everyone in the film. We're all film majors. with the exception of the 2 girls in suits (family) and the girl in the black dress (my sister's friend)

As for requests...Shooting this music video nearly killed me. So for now i'm taking a break. But who know's what the future holds

[FlyingMonkeyPoop]

oh! and yeah we used both a sony z1u and a z7u to shoot this video.

...just out of curiosity, what would your request be?

[elric5]

This video is amazing. It looks really professional and very well done. :)

[FlyingMonkeyPoop]

Thank you

[rmsmusic]

Absolutely blown away!!! INCREDIBLE.

From a technical aspect the lighting and editing is top notch. And all the actors gave amazing performances. Jessica is impressive as always, very cool to see Natalie making a cameo, and HUGE props to the lead... Betto G becomes MJ! A grand tribute to the king of pop, and to your own talents, in front of, and behind the camera. You should be extremely proud of this one. Now I'm back to watch it for the third time... CONGRATS!!

[FlyingMonkeyPoop]

Thank you. Your opinion always means a lot to me

[daiki1012]

I'd have to say it was way WAY better the Heart of Darkness musical. I've noticed there were girl dancer in suits. But who was the guy dancing in the back with the dress with heavy make up?? I didn't notice Angela anywhere so I'm assuming you were video taping... =]

[Usara]

Nadine:

It was -way- better then The Heart of Darkness the Musical! The editing honestly looked pro, so props to whoever did it. Angera you look slightly stiff/unsure during a few of the dance cuts but luckily Captain was in front of you and normally the eye would be on him (I was staring at you though because you look funny). Man I really wish I was back in Vegas for that... I miss making musicals.

[Usara]

My Sister (part 2, she has a lot to say):

MJ has good concept of what he wants and applies it to his video. He's also very resourceful of what he has. He'll make a good director, few fine tuning and he's on his way to hollywood.

[Usara]

My sister:

1. Leaning scene - I saw him do better leaning on the grassy mound picture.

2. Could use more dancing and less mumbling head shot. Audience like action & attention-getters. Head shot was a good scene, but could use less camera time.

3. Looks like you guys had fun. Love the storybook setting where you had a intro, body, climax, and conclusion.

[Tengobaila]

Bravo!!! Excellent! You get an academy award!!! ClapClapclapclapclapClapClap!!

This was so well done and I believe you fulfilled your assignment successfully!

Thank you for sharing this with me.

Keep going!!

Congratulations!

MJ lives.

Best Regards,

Diana

[FlyingMonkeyPoop]

Thank you

I'm glad you liked it!

[dire]

haha, started and had to keep watching :)

[XEternalSession]

Everything looks really well put together, but I think you guys should look a bit more into the dance. :)

[FlyingMonkeyPoop]

As in...

research it more or as in look like we're having more fun while dancing?

[XEternalSession]

As in looks like you're having more fun.^^ You all got the moves down really well, though.

[FlyingMonkeyPoop]

Lol...yeah, I noticed that.

None of us are dancers and we only managed about 5 rehearsals in before the shoot. So we were all worried we were going to mess up.

[Ladymerbird]

Great job Betto! I can't wait to see your next project.

[CelciaSnow]

This was awesome!! Very fun to watch. :D

[Usara]

Mom: *pissed off* Why is it 1922? (I don't know why she doesn't understand the setting)

Me: Yay. Most fun video I worked on... besides Heart of Darkness the Musical, but still.. I enjoyed everyone's company.

[Usara]

Mashie: (Technically, I don't want to say all this but Angela wants me to give constructive feedback)

1.Tilt more, staple your shoes or glue it to the floor or something

2.You look like your mumbling the song. Especially in the beginning. Like, sing how MJ would.

3.Dat pawnch and kick was poorly done. Gotta, actually kick her next time.

4.You look ridiculous in that hat...and yet I must have it

5.Why was Angela holding an envelope? Shouldn't it be like..a fan?

Still.. very Niiice I like

[FlyingMonkeyPoop]

1. We had a cool way to make the lean look really awesome...but during the shoot I didn't explain the frame I was looking for...so It didn't work.

2. I was mumbling the song. I don't like singing (or dancing) infront of people...I got really nervous and started whispering.

3. if it makes you feel better I actually slammed her into the wall and window.

[FlyingMonkeyPoop]

4. If you want it, it's yours.

5. She wasn't a Jade (as I call her) from the video. She was just suppost to look like here. If you look closely the bag says EVIDENCE on it

[Usara]

@FlyingMonkeyPoop

Don't give him the hat.

[kanamikoto]

You bet you did the best job evar! I'm sending this out!

[RyotsuKage]

Wow I'm pretty impressed with this one guys. Good moves and a damned good song.

[LeafeeLeBeau]

Brilliant!

[crashtokiodie]

hellz ya....

[shadowx5479]

So AWESOME!!!!

[solonsendi]

wow, super sweet Betto, totally loved it. I've already watched it a couple times! Good job!
