Rick Baker on Working With Michael Jackson on Thriller | Joe Rogan

I love Michael Jackson. The only artist I can put on and everyone from my 3 year old nephew to my 88 year old grandma will have a good time.

[@martheresa7550]

True! Just play any MJ tune and people of all race, age, gender, background and culture will bop to it. ❤️

[@leecorcoran6174]

[@raserx63]

1983 I was at a big dance club in NY one night when suddenly , the music stopped and the DJ comes on. He says he was just handed MJ’s new video and a screen rolls down from the ceiling. “Thriller” comes on and we all stood there with our mouths open like WTF? Everyone went nuts cheering after seeing it and he played the song again ...I’ll never forget it. The 80’s were a good time to be young..

Yeah, exactly. I was lucky enough to have received both Thriller and Moonwalker at an early age, and was able to see his premieres of "Black and White" and "Remember the time", which yeah, a lot of people were talking about the next day at school and even friends and family elsewhere. Michael Jackson was a household name for a lot of people , just like the simpsons as far as awareness. If you watch moonwalker, you can see the footage of how people gathered and the women who cried when he came on stage or into view. It was a wild time.

It was put together by his longtime costumer/stylist Michael Bush andddd... forgot the other man's name... it's been so long since I looked theough that book and it's packed in storage i believe. But it was FILLED with sketches and photos of the outfits they had made, on stage and off, for Michael from the early 80s until his death (they actually designed the outfit and dressed Michael for his FINAL dressing that he was laid to rest in for eternity). Such a great and infromative photo book. I suggest you look into that one n I'll check out that thriller book thank you!

The “Making Michael Jackson’s Thriller” documentary was Landis’ partner and editor’s idea. They needed $500K to make Thriller (an outrageous cost in those days) and MJ’s label refused to pay for it. So Landis’ editor asked “what if we cook up this 45 minute ‘making of’ documentary, plus the 15-minute video, and sell it back to the networks?” The new Showtime network paid $250K for the right to show it first exclusively. Then MTV came around and offered $250K to show it second to a much wider audience... In short, the video literally paid for itself. 👀

MIchael was a Phenomenon. He LITERALLY TOOK the entire worlds consciousness. They literally was no escaping and people today don't really understand the magnitude of the tidalwave that was MIchael. When he did the moonwalk on MOTOWN25 and then dropped Thriller. It was like nothing you could imagine. I was like 12 yrs old and at the roller skating rink, the musics playing and then out of nowhere they lowed the lights and two projection screens, one at each end of the rink came down and all you saw was this rush of everyone to the ends of the rink to get a great view of the video. You just can't show in words the excitement Michael caused. NONE of todays entertainers ever even half of what was the Michael Mania. Cardi B, Lil Wayne, Eminem, Back Street Boys.. you name it.. NONE of them are at Michaels level..Meeting Kings, Queens, Presidents. It may be another 100 yrs before the world ever sees a Phenomenon like that.

Everyone in the comments is talking about Michael Jackson and nobody realizes the man in the video is a legend himself: 7-times Academy Award winner Rick Baker. For those who don't know, winning 7 Oscars is quite the record - and he was actually nominated 10 times. This is the man who revolutionized special effects with the transformation scene in "An American Werewolf in London" - nobody had done anything like it before and only a few (like Rob Bottin on "The Thing") managed to equal it since.

This reminds me: My high school art teacher was so enthralled and impressed with the Thriller video that he showed it to our class one afternoon. A distinct memory from late 1983 for me. You could tell that Jackson, Landis and Baker were so big on classic monster movies when they were growing up ... and they poured that shared fondness into the music video.

Who's next move is to go straight to thriller music video after watching this?

[@walley2637]

i remember watching the debut on MTV back in the day. i guess that means i'm getting old but not old enough to have lost my memory!

I find it a little weird that he said it was more of a cat, although it did look like a cat it still howled like a wolf which was always confusing to me as a kid lol.

People have seen the moon walk before Michael did it, he just made it popular

[@airfixx_8952]

James Brown was doing shit like that in the 60's... Even then he was 'borrowing' moves from guys that came before..... 70s/early 80's B-Boys were all over it too.

The goat always and forever MJ🙌

Tuned in for the premiere showings of both Thriller and Billie Jean…UNBELIEVABLY AMAZING! The 80s were awesome! One correction: Pop-lockers were moonwalkers, dudes in the 40s & 50s as well. MJ made moonwalking mainstream.

Yea I'm old enough to remember Thriller...it was a Event!...after it Premiered, that's all people would talk about, MTV, would announce ahead of time, when they were going to replay it!...exciting time to be a MJ Fan...Thanks Micheal...RIP
