Last Halloween, one of our web developers at large Gregory Pike made a video with his friends as a surprise for a big Hallow's Eve bash. It was a remake of Michael Jackson's infamous Thriller video, filmed entirely on location in St. John's, with Mr. Pike as the leading man. It was an office favorite for a long time. We thought the story ended there, but we were very mistaken.
It was eventually posted to Facebook, then YouTube, and this week, it caught the eye of a CBC producer. Before we knew it, he was asked to take part in a story about Michael Jackson tributes in the wake of the pop star's sudden and tragic death last week. Next thing you know, he's appearing on CBC's The National, busting out some pretty hip moves and making us awfully proud.
So here's a big congratulations to Greg! Not only is it great to see one of our own recognized, anything that calls attention to the wit, talent and creativity of Newfoundland's residents is a very good thing.
Note: this picture is just a joke. It was cooked up by the Art Department for the occasion.
