| Ryan Leslie "Diamond Girl" Official Video - Rough Cut |
 |
This is the edit of the video that premiered
on BET's 106 & Park on Friday, April 4th.
Since it's my channel, I've added some sound
design to the version that aired.
As I posted in my previous video, I had a
huge vision for this video to feel like a
live television performance that gave tribute
to a James Brown piece I saw on the Ed
Sullivan show.
I saved up my money and had the EXACT same
stage built that James performed on. I then
hired a band to cut the live version. After
that, I worked with everyone on the stage to
have that throwback vibe. I paid to shoot the
performance on a blue screen with the
intention of having the set of the Ed
Sullivan show digitally recreated behind me.
My label disagreed.
They felt that the live version felt too much
like a remix.
They also felt that we needed to rush on the
video so the final edit came back without the
digital stage - just changed the blue to
black and added some lights, and cutaway
graphics of diamonds.
My original treatment called for the video to
be set in the late 60's just like James
Brown's performance. I wanted to have
families huddled around the television
watching this performance like they used to
back then.
When I got to LA to shoot, the entire set was
modern and a piece of me died. My vision was
compromised. Rather than be an ungrateful
artist, I stayed and gave my best
performance.
The video that's airing is really only a
partial representation of my artistic vision.
Here are a few of the audio edits I've made
that are featured in the vid that you're
seeing:
* First, I had someone come to the studio and
say the following dialogue in French:
"Ryan. Wait for me. I'm not even ready! I
can't believe you're gonna leave me
here...You're driving me crazy - I can't do
this anymore. Ryan - if you leave - we're
finished! YOU SPENT $3000 ON A DRESS - don't
you wanna see me in it?? Oh..ok - fine... GO!
Amuse yourself with the girls at your show!!
And if you think I'll be here when you get
back - THINK AGAIN!!"
* Second, I convinced Evan to do the
voice-over of my manager.
* Third, I re-cut my dialogue from the
beginning and added the sound of running
water to enhance the vibe of our bathroom
conversation.
* Fourth, I added the sound of the door
opening before the video starts.
* Added a few horn stabs to parts of the
performance when I'm gesturing to the band to
"hit me".
* Put some applause at the end of the
performance scene.
* Added the sound of screaming girls, running
feet, more screaming girls and the car door
closing.
The lesson I learned here is that when you
have a strong creative vision - do everything
in your power to see it through. I am very
thankful that I have a video on TV. Many
artists are still striving for that
milestone. Regardless, this experience
encouraged me to shoot another video as well
as an 11 minute short film based on "Diamond
Girl".
I will not stop.

| Pink Floyd "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" Syd Barrett Tribute |
 |
Just something simple for people to put on
their MySpaces, etc. This is the version
from the old VHS tape of Pulse (which IMHO
had much better camera angles than the new
DVD). The beginning and one verse from the
middle (at 6:13) had to be edited out to fit
it into YouTube's 10 min. requirement. But
the whole movie they showed at the concert is
here since it's probably supposed to
represent Syd's life (or anybody's)....
This is from Earl's Court, London in October
of 1994.
