Why the Michael Jackson hologram isn't actually a hologram

- Michael Jackson's "performance" as a hologram at last night's Billboard Music Awards caused mixed reactions - and for good reason. But while this might look like the future of posthumous performances, the technique itself is about five centuries old.

If they actually made him look like like what he looked like in 2009, people would *actually* believe it
They made him look like his Dangerous era because the song is from the Dangerous era
MJ hologram looked very poor, his face didnt even look like MJ, 2Pac one was the best i've seen.
Anderson Silva Yeah the tupac hologram kinda hovered but it was still AMAZING
thats what i thought
17jun1989 sameeeee
17jun1989 it did look like MJ but before his final stage of surgery on his face
agreed
I wish they would have explained how the trick works
There's a video somewhere on ytube showing how. Basically an actor perfoms in a green room with cameras everywhere and his face is then recreated in cgi.
It's a project on a semi-transparent screen.
They made a video of it, they did explain.
1:06
The video already gave you key words to search and told you the name of the effect... but there are two basic ways of doing it... direct projection or reflection... both have to do with a gauze-link screen material stretched across the area where you want the projection to appear
Whitney Houston's hologram is going on a world tour next year
Are you serious?
XavianBrother wait what?

XavianBrother 😂😂😂
Part of the Cavalcade of Corpses tour I believe.
I'm still wondering who's that impersonator,he did a bad job.He need more practice and he don't even look like MJ
actually Michael Jackson Estate said : this is not a hologram and it isn't an impersonator . It is actually a 3d avatar of mj created by the estate , some of creator of this "hologram" worked on the movie Avatar . So it is like a character of some video game .
Faisal Ahmad Yeah i know about it today,but it still don't look like MJ and the moonwalk was really bad.
No, it's an impersonator. The Estate won't admit it but the moves match that done by Earnest Valentino. Look up "Earnest Valentino Dance".
They could have opted for tracking MJ's motions from video footage (like people have done for Miku Miku Dance), and the impersonator in the Michael Jackson Experience game did a better job than this.
Tech1Tv they used CGI animation system to create him
The motion capture was done using an impersonator named Earnest Valentino
Why do people still calling "hologram" to any translucent image they see?
Btw, Miku uses another type of image system. Projectors are behind and there is not mirrors involved.
I do like this better anyways :)..and it works siene 2009 xd
The original hologram made in miroir by aliens
I remember back in the day some arcade cabinets used this reflection/projection technique so you'd have a flatter/cleaner image.
The issue is not the holographic technique - the 3D image is a volumetric image (a type of hologram). It's the rendition. If you record someone from all angles, it will hold the uncanny valley effect back than if you try to recreate them using 3D software. The trick itself is not expensive... The animation - if they used an impersonator - using mocap and other techniques.... That's the expensive part.
it was a impersonator pretending to be a hologram
IT IS NOT A HOLOGRAM, please do not be misinformed by reporters using 'fancy' words to garner views
Yeah, Ernest Valentino
This hologram looks like a sims :(
Syrine-San 愛 lol ikr
It's sim
How the hell does it
Syrine-San 愛 so did mj
Nooo lol
The Tupac hologram had his hand and microphone cover his lips when he rapped, so they didn't have to worry about animating that part, just the physical moves.
Ha ha I got to see Michael Jackson live 2 times in concert.I was at the victory tour in Philadelphia and the Bad tour in New York city .The hologram looks great except they could of done better with his face.The face could of been worked on better to make it look more like Michael Jackson.Still it was cool to see.I hope they make a better MJ hologram in the future.. :)
Could have*
how lucky????????
YOU. SAW. MICHAEL. JACKSON???!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮 tell me about it!!
In my opinion they kind of took back a few surgeries that he took his face and made him look normal and a bit more handsome.
you didn't actually explain what you said on the tittle of the video!
Tiago Barbs A hologram is by definition a projected image in the air. But this one is on a semi-transparent screen. That's it.
Tittle
@@big.pp.energy XDD
tipinwings Thanks for explaining. It makes sense now.
@@big.pp.energy tiddiele
0:43 no amount of liquor in this world can convince me that's a hologram
Baller Life i agree
Fr
Saying these are holograms is like when a phone company says it's 800 x 480 phones are "True HD!"
But in all honesty, I do like the effort.
Being someone that's watched MJ like my life depends on it, the face was off, also, he had some grooves, but these were OFFFFFF.....I honestly think they just got a skinny person to do the dancing, then they drew/animated the face
Just goes to show that money talks when it comes to Michael Jackson, people need to let him rest
Adam Taylor Michael created the biggest brand in the world. Nothing tops brand Michael Jackson. Pepsi used it to become Cokes competitor, the Super Bowl used it to save itself, Sony used it to become the biggest name in music publishing. But sadly the allegations harmed the brand.
Are you kidding me?? Do you actually think, just because media using his hologram, that he isn't at peace?? 🤔 Haha 😄
OML PERFECT THUMBNAIL!!! MURDOC, TUPAC, AND MICHAEL
0:44 Mr Stark, I don't feel so g...
Michael Jackson's face looked artificial even when it wasn't CGI.
good point.
Got that right
Oh fuck you all
To the people who find this offensive it's a joke guys :)
Avihu Turzion so does your face
Well duh, it looked horrible... they could simply done a impersonator and it would be as bad if not a bit better. This performance was horrible and should NEVER been done. It didn't look like MJ, it didn't dance like MJ, it didn't show the soul like MJ.... So what is it? just a 3d figure dancing bad.
"It didn't look like MJ, it didn't dance like MJ, it didn't show the soul like MJ...."
Then get real michael jackson, but the reality is harsh, he isn't with us anymore. What you are asking there is for someone to replace MJ dude. No one can replace no one.
"they could simply done a impersonator"
Thats what they did, thats Earnest Valentino, a MJ impersonator.
"just a 3d figure dancing bad."
Nah man, the dance is good. Not on MJ level but for an impersonator I think this is good.
i died when he said Hatsoon Miku
R.I.P Tupac and Michael
holograms have shadows now,,,,ok
Hiz subscribe to me plz
......you do realise everything has a shadow right? Even a box.... If the light off a phone can create a shadow why can't a hologram, your a dumbass, stay in school.
Prince Vegeta wait wut a box is a physical object he's talkin bout light
NOT A RAPPER ? Maybe tricks with lighting
I was thinking the same thing lol
I find it dumb for them to use the pepper's ghost effect for these "holograms". The visuals are 2D. The only way I feel the illusion should be used is in Disneyland, where the ghosts in the haunted mansion actually take up 3D space. Might as well use a big monitor...
If you see one in first person it'll change the way you think about it .... Trust me its awesome.
we are looking at a video of a hologram shot with a camera. not the same as being there.
That's so weird, they did that only 5 years after the man died.
Miku desu!
no anime
I love mj.....
It's not really a hologram of Michael, you can tell it's one of his impersonators. Sorry, good try though!
I don't think it's an impersonator, at times the animation seems to have faults,
I wouldn't be surprised if it was a pre-rendered projection , but it could very well be pepper's ghost.
The sad thing is *so* many people see projections and instantly think "Hologram" or "pepper's ghost"... like at Hatsune Miku's concerts, which don't use pepper's ghost, just overlapping projectors
Actually, it was a projection. If it was an impersonator, it would have been clearer and without the fine white outline around him. I know the company that made the screens
me too think that is a impersonator.
@@andreww9726 From an A/V engineer Saying "overlapping projectors" is a bit inaccurate. The way official Vocaloid concerts are produced involves the use of a material known as a DILAD Screen which bends the light to the viewer's eye. (when I set up this effect I prefer a different screen that scatters the light rather than bending it). My point is there is still a screen.
@@andreww9726 it was an impersonator with MJ's face CGI'd over projected as a pepper's ghost. I can't find it now but on Instagram around that time there was a video taken by someone near the front row showing the flaws with the illusion - basically the whole projection was just on one sheet with a reflection of the whole projection along the ceiling. The only live dancers were those off the stage.
Even if it's a hologram it is never the same to the real Michael
obviously but it's the next best thing were ever gonna get since he's passed away
+Courtney Amber true
You forgot to mention they used an impersonator to do the dance. His name is Earnest Valentino.
I love that you mentioned Gorillaz because they are my favorite band .
I enjoy listening to them & MJ.
MJ’s face would look like that if he was still around now
how come that of Michael Jackson is a hologram but the girl next his chair is touching his arm and mooves his jacket ?
djmarwen11 *Illuminati song*
she's in the original video he was in. she's a holo too
djmarwen11 Stop....that's creepy stuff!!
djmarwen11 right not a hologram
Idiot
There is a nay at the end of hatsune
I'm actually super impressed by how these projections were done
what if its not a hologram what if its really him...
bro this was 9 years ago imagine what they could make today, the michael jackson could look identical as if he was alive
well he didnt cover anything in any detail. We dont expect holograms to look like Star Wars. Star War holograms sucked. They were an animation of what someone though a hologram should be. WE'll see this technology go much further as plasma science and laser science unite and develop more.
They soul taken let them rest in peace
It just made me upset.. I mean I liked it because, well, it's Michael. I just got a little depressed. Love you MJ!
He’s not dead
The way you said hatsun…. HATSUNEEE
This dude really said *hatsu miku*
Why micheal Jacksons hologram isn't actually a hologram its micheal jackson 👁👄👁
I LOVE VOCALOID
I never paid for music and I never will.
But was it a digitally created face of MJ or the actual face (and body) of an imitator/lookalike?
They have this at the Lincoln museum in Springfield IL
Did you notice the women get touched by his face in the beginning. It looked like they tried to make it look like a hologram, but it wasn't. Maybe it was him. Hmm
This is eerie. 😱😱
We should have our favorite celebrities in our home.
Hope this keeps going in future bring back heroes so cool thanks
Bruh they wrong for making holograms of legends
I know that this “MJ” is Navi, Micheal Jackson’s friend who acts as him
the impersonator danced badly and it doesn’t even looks like MJ’s face
It has a shadow
What's the point of a mirror if it would look exactly the same whether they were there or not?
I'm too old for this...
HAHAHA!!! aaaaahhh the future... you just have to laugh about that one!!!!
Are you ok
Annie
14supersonic are you ok, Annie?
Annie are you okay?
they need to make a Beatles hologram
or Heart. Now we're talkin.....
Would the two living Beatles members appear in person?
we dont need that its disrepectful
@@lexitnute1306 I guess. But now I understand why these holograms are being made. There are so many groups I'll never have a chance to see because I wasn't born in the right time. So now I can, but they are holograms lol
I always wanted to know how that was done, being a fan of K-POP and having friends that are fans of Vocaloids.
(KPOP used these holograms a few times already)
it cannot be peppers ghost if it is being rendered.
Why does MJs hologram have a shadow?
If you’re a theatre kid/theme park fan this is the most outdated tech ever lmao. Pepper’s ghost often appears flat or weird when it’s projections and not animatronics, not to mention seeing reflections on the glass that break the illusion.
Whats the newer one called?
GIYS IT WAS EARNEST VALENTENO(hope I'm spelling it right) THE DANCE MOVES ARE THE SAME DUUUUUHHHHH
well clearly
Two kings Tupac and Michael
*It looked Pretty good, if they could take it up a knotch and improve it a little more make him appear closer that would be amazing*
Published on my birthday
I actually liked this Verge Intro
So is Celine Dion and Elvis Presley duet in American Idol is a Hologram? (Is Elvis a hologram?)
eventually, the audience will need to be projected.
NFT's and live concerts now
Heck, why not use it for Video game Characters, like Sonic, or Mario and friends?
"hotsoon miku"
I thought the Tupac hologram was a projected video on to a scrim (sheer fabric) no glass was used.
the way that was put was like oh it must be a real living person yeah but not Michael a look alike but no misleading title
I found it horrifying
I 💖 Michael
i don’t know if this is bad
i noticed this... Why did people have smartphones that time?? look closely... Some of the people are recording MJ with smartphones... like what???
This wasn’t a hologram because that’s an impersonators hologram
Soething seems fishy with the spin.
Young Robert Plant hologram would be nice
Ya i know its a impersinator but the thing here is that the person is there is a hologram of mj's face it was taken as a picture and they made it to a hologram and connects it into the guys face then this person while the hologram is placed on the person this person became the hologram its not this mirror thing its a hologram you think its a hologram because the company that made tupacs hologram is not the same as the other company who made mj's performance
Yo disney get on this
better get a michael jackson robot
Pass
this seems horrible I dont want to pay to see the "holograms" i want to watch them perform themselves and if they are dead then you can't
they should crowd surf the corpse and call it quits IMO
To be honest I knew it wasn't a hologram cause the people dancing next to him were all touching him and if u look closely at the start he touched the girls chin and if it was a real hologram it will pass through her face cause it's a hologram is surpose to be a beam light. And also there was another touch when she was dancing on the floor close to him, u could actually see a touch on the leg when she turned around. Watch closely. But I still enjoyed it tho. Cause if freaking MJ show
Infortunaly it's not the only subscript
So what your telling me is that he is still alive
InducedJet 7 dumbass watch the video
im sorry am i the only one who heard his voice break at 0:25
Where can I see the ABC's Slave To The Rhythm Performance?
its a couple screens
Is that Murdoc in the Thumbnail?!?!
dud...someone forgot to turn off the fan on the stage. lol...It's the same effect used in The Haunted Mansion at Disneyland. They should make MJ glow and fly like a ghost.
i want to see marry poppins...
I doubt this trick is 5 centuries old
