Man In The Bubble?

In previous posts we have examined the Sony "make.believe" marketing campaign, and a few of you have created videos analyzing the various advertisements.  Some have noticed items of interest in the below video - the rabbit, the apples, the ball that is similar to "Light Man's" ball, and the sword movement which was similar to what was seen in a leaked video of Blanket.  All of these can be deemed "coincidences" (one of the most frequently used words on this site I believe...:) ).


But a SeeingClues blog reader ("TWK") discovered something new about the above video that no one else has picked up on.   Near the end of the video is a series of bubbles which contain quickly mutating images.
An especially interesting image was caught at approximately the 2:26 (interesting time) mark of the video.
I captured a screen shot and there is an image in a bubble which resembles a reverse image of the Thriller album cover.  The image changes very quickly, so here is what I was able to capture:

Here is a closer look:

Trick of the eye?  Optical llusion?  Subliminal marketing?

But if the concept of the "man in the bubble" sounds far-fetched, consider this. In the Jackson's 1980 video for "Can You Feel It", the use of bubbles and images in the bubbles were part of the special effects.




Stopping the screen at the 4:51 mark shows this image:

Can you see it? :)

Daylight Zombie?

In the previous post, the concentration was on sunflowers that one interesting item was missed!  Upon reviewing the Thriller footage from This Is It, what caught my eye is that in the beginning, the cemetary in the background is in full daylight.  Zombies don't come out during the day, right?   Well I see an image of what could be one. (look under the red arrow).

Upon blowing up the image, it looked rather interesting.  Could it be a person, emerging from a grave in broad daylight?   If so, was this scene created with MJ?  

The person in the scene looks to have the same clothes as MJ on the right.  What do you think?

The Black Widow - Who's Your Mummy?

One curious aspect of the Thriller segment in This Is It is the never before seen use of a Black Widow Spider. Michael Jackson emerges from the paralyzing clutches of the Black Widow unharmed (start at :22 of the video below).



However close inspection of this Black Widow shows that it's design is like no other Black Widow I have seen:


Interestingly enough, after he walks out of the spider, and takes a look around to the left and right (making sure the coast is clear?), MJ strikes a similar "mummy-like" pose:


Then still looking at the camera he indicates he is ready to fight:


And finally..the scare!


These three moves happen in about a second before the scene switches.

So was a metaphorical spider holding the "mummy" until it was able to emerge?

UPDATE: Seeing Clues blog reader "Cristadobre" sent me the below vintage Disney short film "Egyptian Melodies" which contains a segment where a spider brings mummies to life:


If you are in the mood for a "Silly Symphony" you can watch it here:

This Is It: Thriller Backdrop

This film was to be played during the "Thriller" performance of This Is It:

This Is It "Thriller" Shoes

Here is a close-up image of the shoes Michael Jackson was to wear during the "Thriller" song performance at the O2 shows in London.

MJ had such an attention to detail, there were even images inside the shoes that no one would see..no doubt to anyone that these are MJ's shoes only. :)
