Alki David cannot confirm anything because he has got nothing to do with the MJ hologram. In his lawsuit he claims he hasn't heard about it until May 15 and now he says they recorded it there - please you are all smarter than that. He's suing Estate for using this patents - we discussed this before. so the claim that "hologram USA is behind virtual MJ" is a blatant lie. So he's just being opportunistic and taking credit for something he had absolutely no involvement and no knowledge. It's no different than Alki David having multiple news conferences and interviews about bogus DNA test and secret son of MJ. For whatever reason Alki David is the latest person who is milking Michael with lies for money.
And to be even more clear, Alki David's patent is just the projector / pepper's ghost technology. He wasn't involved in creation of Tupac hologram either. What he does is just to play / project the holograms. So he really doesn't have any first hand involvement / knowledge of creating dead celebrity holograms. CGI (tupac, avatar movie, michael) etc is done by a totally different firm than Alki's.
Let's be real here. You're more of a legal expert than I am, but mistake if I'm wrong, I thought the lawsuit stated that the company Alki inherited, were basically the parent company of Pulse Entertainment? The ones that did this "Michael" performance, I could be wrong but I thought I read that, one of the companies went bankrupt, Alki purchased what they had and whatever was left, they made Pulse Entertainment..I'm not sure on that, but I recall the lawsuit saying something of that nature. Without that though, we know they used the same tech as the Tupac hologram, we know this from cellphone footage of both performances, in which both the projection screen which projects and mirrors the image, can be seen, in both performances. He owns some part of the tech. He has access to the specific's legally. We don't, we're just going off of what we think we know as either casuals who simply don't care, or hardcore fans who pay attention to those tiny, intricate details. I don't think we can just write him off like that.
Both Pepper's Ghost tech was used to create Tupac and The Michael "holograms", again, we know this from cell phone footage. The guy probably knows what he's talking about.
So now we are saying it wasn't even Michaels head?
Where you say 'he too, made no effort to duplicate that while they were filming' makes it sound like it's officially confirmed that it was him. Have I missed something in these threads or are we just assuming it was him based on fan research?
It wasn't Michael's head. It was a CGI created image to look like Michael's face. It wasn't made using previous facial casts that Michael's done, or facial scans that he's also done for things like the Hot Toys collection.
When you're mapping a face of a person, atop the face of an impersonator, that doesn't account for the natural facial expressions the actual person did during his life time. I suppose the model would have to replicate that, he didn't. Thus all the critique's it receives.
It wasn't even Michael's head, it's a computer image made to resemble as close as can to Michael Jackson. Only thing is, outside of specific still shots, it didn't look like Michael Jackson, nor did it share the facial expressions that Michael did while performing. Why you ask? BECAUSE IT WASNT MICHAEL JACKSON.
As far as your question of "is it even confirmed it was him"..Please. Footage doesn't lie, you're telling me it's simply a coincidence that the supposed "CGI Image" (body and all) of Michael, shares the exact same dance moves as only one impersonator named Earnest Valentino, so much so to even duplicate the point to the feet during the toe stand?
The man who owns the patents to said technology says that they had to use a double. Oh yeah, we gotta write him off now as a liar and a person who has simply NO CLUE what he's talking about, simply because it fits our own personal belief. Got'cha.
and catch up that floating head
