Michael Jackson’s ultimate music fan global mash-up.
MICHAEL JACKSON’S ULTIMATE MUSIC FAN GLOBAL MASH-UP
TO LAUNCH ONLINE MARCH 7
INNOVATIVE “BEHIND THE MASK” VIDEO PROJECT SEEKS CREATIVE INPUT FROM ACROSS THE WORLD TO SHAPE UNIQUE ARTISTIC VISION
New York, NY – In the spirit of Michael Jackson’s pioneering videos that pushed the creative boundaries in capturing the look, feel and emotions of music, the Estate of Michael Jackson and Sony Music will provide everyone who likes music an opportunity to help create online a unique groundbreaking music video for the single “Behind the Mask”. Using the web in a truly innovative way, people from around the world on March 7 will come together to create an imaginative piece of Michael Jackson history in The Behind the Mask Project.
Led by the creative team at Radical Media and director Dennis Liu, participants will visit the website http://behindthemask.michaeljackson.com which will be loaded with simple tools that define the different roles one can play in this landmark project. First, users select a move, a lyric, or a crowd reaction; performers can even demonstrate their own moonwalk, the anti-gravity lean or the toe stand. Then, using the site’s split-screen template, contributors can shoot their move right on the website with their web cam (or their video camera) and upload their clip at the precise time it occurs in the video.
After the worldwide community has come together and done their part, the director will select the top clips and weave them into this historical work of Michael Jackson video art. The final results of The Behind the Mask Project will be unveiled during the first week in April.
“Behind the Mask” is a critic and fan favorite from MICHAEL – the unique collection of songs featuring Michael’s performances completed posthumously and released in December by the Michael Jackson Estate and Sony Music. MICHAEL was the #1 global album upon its release in December and has shipped over 3 million units worldwide making it one of the biggest albums of 2010. The album’s success continues to underscore Michael’s importance as a global icon and superstar, transcending cultures and languages.
Sign up now at www.michaeljackson.com for updates on the project. Participate starting March 7, 2011 at http://behindthemask.michaeljackson.com.

“Behind the Mask” and “Hollywood Tonight” video information.
Gayle over at MJOnline – The Official Online Team of the Michael Jackson Estate® has informed me of the following:
Hollywood has been abuzz for the last week and a half with filming for TWO different videos for songs from the MICHAEL album – “Behind the Mask” and “Hollywood Tonight”. The first was an indoor shoot, but anyone on Hollywood Boulevard yesterday got a sneak peak at filming for one of the videos. More info and even a photo or two coming soon….
This is very exciting information and the videos will surely be as wonderful as ‘Hold My Hand’ was. I have also found a video clip of the shooting for Hollywood Tonight on TMZ(from their posts/reports), which you can view below:
Clarification on Mijac – Sony/ATV Information.
There have been a great deal of questions regarding the Mijac catalog and reports in the press of it moving to Sony/ATV, And Gayle along with Jeff from the Online Team have shared some useful information on the fact after contacting John Branca. A huge thank you to Gayle over at MJOnline – The Official Online Team of the Michael Jackson Estate® for sharing this information and allowing me to update all of the visitors on information about this.
Yes, there is a matching right that Michael granted to Sony/ATV but they only get to administer the catalog for a limited term AND only if they agree to unprecedented favorable terms. We will not relinquish ultimate control and ownership to anyone. We have favorably refinanced the loans on Mijac which will be paid off and the catalog WILL absolutely be passed to Michael’s children as long as we have anything to say about it.
Sony/ATV is a great company and the Estate owns half of it but no one, not even Sony/ATV, will ever own Mijac while John McClain and I remain in charge.
The current Sony team is the one Michael chose to work with on the Thriller 25 release and they are good partners. As stated in the recent court filings, they worked with us to refinance the burdensome debt that had been placed on Michael’s interest in Sony/ATV to very favorable terms, an important achievement which insures that Mijac and Michael’s masters remain secure for the benefit of Michael’s children for years to come.
