Good job, Filmyguy.
I had a whole manuscript written up for a short film called 'The origins of the moonwalk', but couldn't get it finished in time. In fact, I just started animating last night, but didn't get it finished. Here is the manuscript. Should I attempt to finish it?
The moonwalk (Or backslide as some call it), is a dance move created by Michael Jackson, and was first performed by him in the performance of Billie Jean, on March 25, 1983. This move quickly transformed into Jackson's signature move, and now is one of the greatest,
most popular dance techniques in the world. The moonwalk presents the illusion that the dancer is being pulled back while trying to walk forward. It is performed by the following: First, the leg being pulled up moves the leg behind it back and transfers the weight on to it. The leg with weight
on it goes up, and the opposite lag is drawn back in turn. This repeats. Variations of the moonwalk allows the performer to appear to glide forward, sideways, and if done correctly, even in a circle. This move, was apparently inspired by the way Jackson saw the men on the moon seemingly gliding across the surface with ease. It is now one of the most well-known dance moves of the Century, along with the worm, the spinal tap, and many other famous techniques. Michael Jackson passed on June 25, 2009. He will never be forgotten.
Persist.
