You aren’t seeing any visuals or hearing or reading any dialogue. This is solely the script of what the describer says. I don’t remember, but we couldn’t possibly have read out all the opening and closing credits, particularly at the end. In a couple of places below, we couldn’t figure out what something was from the low-resolution QuickTime file we were given and had to fill it in at recording time.

MICAHEL DANCE MOVES THE OFFICE SCRIPT MOVIE
Shortly after Michael Jackson died in June 2009, the movie popped up on TV, but without audio description. The finished described audio track was sent along to CITY-TV, then owned by CHUM. We had a great deal of trouble with the recording of the script – amazingly, we ran too short and kept coming in early during descriptions. It was a difficult job done too quickly with not enough of a budget.
In 2004, I was hired to write the audio-description script for a Canadian-made “biopic” about Michael Jackson, Man in the Mirror: The Michael Jackson Story.
