Dustin, better known in Music Videoland as AVIDDIVA and director of underground indie cult movie, "Pumping Velvet," has prolific video editing credits to boot, working with artists like Mariah, Madonna, Janet Jackson, Jennifer Lopez, Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, Anastacia, Pink, just to name a few. He won a Latin Grammy for best editing on Shakira's "Suerte" music video directed by Francis Lawrence in 2002 and nominated for a few videos most notably his work on JLo's "Get Right" and Janet's "All Nite (Don't Stop)" at the MTV Video Music Awards in 2005.
Having worked previously on "It's Like That" and "We Belong Together," Dustin was happy to have landed another editing job from the Mariah Carey/Brett Ratner tandem, this time for the much-talked about music video for "Obsessed" which was filmed in New York City on June 28 and 29.
He reveals to us, "Mariah is very excited to share this hot new clip with the fans and wants them to be surprised by what happens in it. I can say that the Remix video features rapper Gucci Mane and was shot at the same time as the original in NYC. There is definitely new hotness in the Remix that is not in the original."
Dustin spent time with Mariah and Brett working on the Original edit on Tuesday, July 7th and on Friday, June 10th, he and Mariah sorted out the final details on the Remix version. That's right! There are two versions to the "Obsessed" music video - one for the original and another for the Remix featuring Gucci Mane. He says of working with Mariah, "I have only wonderful things to share about The Voice! She is the single most real and fun artist I have had the pleasure of creating with and I've cut for every diva out there! MC rocks in every way. A true master at the art of making videos! I truly enjoy working with her. We had a blast cutting an alternate version."
The wait is almost over! "Obsessed" will world premiere on America's Got Talent this Wednesday, July 15th at 9:00pm on NBC.
