Put yourself in Michael Jackson’s Thriller video

As you may have heard, though many people don’t seem to be giving it much attention, this year marks the 25th anniversary of Michael Jackson’s Thriller album. Now, thanks to a partnership between Michael Jackson, Epic/Legacy Records, Big Stage, and YouTube you will be able to star in your very own Thriller video. You heard me correctly–thanks to technology you can replace Michael Jackson with a 3D version of yourself.

To put yourself into your own Thriller video you need the latest version of Flash and three-close up photos of yourself taking with a digital camera. The video starring you is automatically created after you have uploaded the pictures. You can access the special “My Thriller Video” by going to the Michael Jackson website and registering for a free account.

For those children of the 80’s or those who simply remember how popular Thriller was this will be a nice nostalgic journey. I must admit I would have loved to have switched places with Michael Jackson back in the 80’s, but not so much now. Now, putting myself in a Thriller video is probably as close as I want to get to becoming like Michael Jackson.
