Dome Project: Michael Jackson’s final videos

Two weeks ago, Michael finished a project said to be the making of his last videos. The title of the project was the Dome Project. Incomplete details about these videos are available, but two people involved in producing them confirmed the existence of such a project in interviews with the Associated Press on Monday, on the condition that their identities remain hidden. Sources say the production of these videos took five weeks and was filmed in the Culver studios. These studios were the location where the classic film “Gone with the Wind” was filmed decades earlier. For filming Michael’s videos, four different locations were created, one of which evoked scenes from the 1983 “Thriller” trailer video. Filming for this project lasted from June 1 to June 9, and Michael was present on set for most of the time. The videos are now in post-production and are expected to be completed next month. Rob Wagner, the producer of these videos and founder of the music video production company Stimulated, did not respond to reporters’ questions, and Michael Ras, a spokesperson for AEG Live in Los Angeles, said he had not heard anything about this project, but added that it might have been part of the company’s contract with Michael. One informed source told the Associated Press that Michael had made a good impression on the people on his team. He arrived in a large SUV, surrounded by his bodyguards and security. Michael introduced himself to the staff and walked around energetically. But once, when he wanted to get off the stage, he needed help. One of the locations for this project was a cemetery-like set similar to the trailer video. Other locations included a dark place with a portrait of Michael in the werewolf outfit from the trailer, a dense forest, and a stage with floodlights installed to create different backgrounds. According to what is stated on Stimulated’s website, the company was hired to display Michael’s London concerts on large stage screens. It is said that these videos were supposed to be shown on the large stage screens during breaks in the London concerts, or during costume changes for Michael and his team. Source: eMJey / AP
