He probably signed off on that and that only. Even the G-Eazy footage is a rough cut with timer still intact. It's completely a mystery. You can't always blame the director. An artist is bound to be upset if their work is being massacred by Britney's team which they have had a habit of doing. She seemed to really be into it (the footage that leaked) and we don't know about the tractor footage where she was shouting but to blame his specifically isn't justice. We don't know the full story but Team Britney has a past of scrapping material, editing and tossing original footage to side. Even Joseph Kahn spoke about the Perfume video mess.

Well then Team Britney should have known what they were signing to. There's storyboards, drafts and guides to what is being shot for any music video. Britney was teasing everything from the group scene, the red paint so it doesn't seem it was suddenly "cold feet." If she was truly uncomfortable about certain scenes or even her team, they wouldn't have filmed them, point blank. They probably wanted to edit any questionable scene out of the video similar to Perfume and David wasn't having it.

David is the type to not allow his work to be butchered like Team Britney has a habit of doing. More than likely, they had gotten to a point of a rough draft of the video but never finalized it with how the unmastered footage of G Eazy was used in the second MM video. It's clear they had begun editing and putting together a final version but there's inserts missing for the TV screen so it wasn't the final version David had mine before everything was denied by Team Britney. The timer at the bottom proves it. When plans for David fell through, he probably did not allow them use of his materials outside of the MM cover. You would think Team Britney would have used alternate shots from the shoot but they never did. The second photo was shared by someone on the set. Well it's trash though. The American Dream version is better even if it's all glamour shots of Britney.

It's at the end of the frame in some shots. So they used unmastered footage.

Simple. They shot a full session so there's bound to countless images from this setting/outfit alone aside from the final MM single cover photo that was used. The user above stated it perfectly how the disagreement between Team Brit and David led to the cancellation of the MM video/planned Glory shoot since David wasn't about to allow his work to be mutilated/butchered. It's more telling the footage of G-Eazy used in the second MM video has the timer at the very bottom, not even final footage but leaked one. I wouldn't be surprised if they weren't allowed access to the mastered/produced footage from that shoot. It's a shame because it seemed Glory was off to a big start until everything fell apart. This photo was uploaded by someone who worked on the session. It's not an actual David shot photo but more of an on set photo taken by someone else, not a professional camera.

I hate that underwear. She overused it during the entire POMT. It's so ugly. Looks like a spider planted on her crotch.

She honestly should have just had multiple copies of the revamp outfits done. They honestly were the best and switched things up with pants and what not. Now all she wears are lingerie and mismatched bra/panties combinations that look horrible. Vegas is supposed to be about expensive shows and Britney does something you'd expect a club performer to do. The revamp outfits fit the looks but unfortunately she either ruined them by cutting them up or discarded them. WB works with the NYE or green leotard. MATM easily could use a crop top and some pants. It isn't tough but she insists on a leotard in that section while everyone else is wearing denim and plaid. This was honestly Britney looking her best and it didn't take much. Simplicity sometimes works wonders. Gothic should display something great like this outfit. The Neon section has always been a mess. I don't think there's been one outfit I've liked the entire show's run. Toxic (the original green outfit) worked with a Poison Ivy type character but she began trimming the sleeves and ruined it to the point of it looking so badly and instead of making her look slim, she added that horrible gold belt to it making her look wide. The Circus section needs something like a Circus photoshoot outfit she is capable of dancing in. You could honestly add a gold jacket and voila, so much better than the black two jacket piece she wears.
