Michael Jackson's Thriller is a 14-minute music video for the song of the same name released on December 2, 1983 and directed by John Landis, who also co-wrote the screenplay with Jackson. It was the most expensive video of its time, costing US$500,000, and Guinness World Records listed it in 2006 as the "most successful music video", selling over 9 million units.
Often referred to as the greatest music video ever, Thriller proved to have a profound effect on popular culture, and was named "a watershed moment for the [music] industry" for its unprecedented merging of filmmaking and music.
"Thriller" was less a conventional music video and more a full-fledged short subject or mini-film: a horror film homage featuring choreographed zombies performing with Jackson. The music was re-edited to match the video, with the verses being sung one after the other followed by the ending rap from Vincent Price, then the main dance sequence (filmed at 3701 Union Pacific Avenue in East Los Angeles) to an instrumental loop, and a climatic dance segment with Jackson singing the choruses.
He we see some of the students at the CLJ Academy (alongside Casey Lee Jolleys her self, street teacher Laura Anne Gill and Ballet teacher Dani Winters) paying tribute to the late great Michael Jackson by recreating the famous dance sequence from "Thriller" live on stage at the Palace Theatre, Manchester.
Later this year (1st Nov 2009) these and number of other CLJ students will be taking part in the World Record Attempt of having the most people doing the Thriller routine as part of Zombie Aid 2 at the Printworks, Manchester.

it's "OK...." out of the 3 lead girls the one on the left has the looseness so she did great. The other two were too sharp in their movements - more like street dancers - needs more work but good Video though.
