Yeah, I think Ed shot alot of that stuff. IDK if this was discussed, but I think there is a possibility of a directors cut of this!
I think so too. Watching the video I can tell it's condensed. The reason I can is because of the trailer. Child...I'm glad I wasn't the director. I'm sure he had SO much good **** he could have used. I would've went crazy.
For a song so focused in female empowerment, I expected a video full of womanly rebellion, chicks kicking ass and men falling victim to their devilish charms. In my mind I imagined the epic female army would play a larger role in this production, and I was pleased when the hundreds of women came together for the final showdown, but I felt that this call to battle came a little too late.
The video is still enjoyable and I think it serves its purpose.
I thought the part where she danced with those two dancers was somewhat boring and that the director could have done much more with the final scene because it was disappointing, but it was great nonetheless.
