Madonna "Bad Girl"
Directed by David Fincher
I brokered a compromise between David and Madonna when he wanted a hard cut to silence in the middle of a phrase at the moment that Christopher Walken appears to her. His original concept was that Christopher was invisible to her while the track was playing and he wanted it to be a shock when all of a sudden the music stopped and she can see him.
Well, it was a little too abrupt for Madonna, so I came up with the idea of getting her vocal stem and controlling it separately over the music edit to soften the cut and eventually to lead us back into the full track.
