Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough (1979)
Nick Saxton's chroma-key short makes Michael Jackson's tuxedoed solo inseparable from its graphic design: abstract color fields give way to three synchronized Jacksons, turning a simple disco performance into a playful screen-built trio.
Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough is a 1979 dance film centred on ballroom and social dance. For dancers, it's a chance to see the style performed on screen — the phrasing, partnering, and musicality that the same dances carry onto a real floor.

Triplicate Michael Jackson dance effect
Commercial / Industry DanceDanced by Michael Jackson
Three tuxedoed Michael Jackson figures dancing side by side, an effect singled out as innovative for 1979.
The triplicate effect converts one performer into a synchronized screen ensemble, making editing and image compositing part of the choreography without obscuring Jackson's rhythmic accents.

Tuxedo solo against geometric chroma-key backgrounds
Commercial / Industry DanceDanced by Michael Jackson
A smiling Jackson in a black-and-white tuxedo dancing alone while kaleidoscopic geometric forms move behind him.
Jackson's compact solo phrasing stays readable against rapidly changing abstract shapes: the tuxedo silhouette, direct-to-camera presentation, and chroma-key design turn a minimal studio performance into a complete screen-dance statement.
