Remember all those posts I did showing you the four different versions of Hilary Duff’s “Reach Out” music video? Well, one fan (and I’m going to call this fan a genius, because it’s fantastic!) put all four versions framed into one video. So, you can see the exact differences as all four music videos play simultaneously through the song.

So, now that you’ve seen them side by side, which do you like?

Barney Miller, who put up this version of the “Reach Out” music video (likely the first, though not final, edit of the video), talked about collaborating on the video.

Barney Miller is the founder / editor of Company X. He collaborated with Phil Andelman to create the “Reach Out” music video, both sharing the same vision and aesthetic for the final product. Phil directed the video and Barney Miller was responsible for the edit. Phil says that Barney’s sense of pacing is shrewd, with each cut having a “tight punch”, which definitely was the case in the final product!!

Barney said this of the video:

“The goal was to really conceptualize a defining transformation in Hilary’s career, in a classic party atmosphere. Philip eased Hilary into the shoot and guided her through the visual storytelling process. There was some trepidation from management as to whether the treatments were too risqué, but in the end, I think we realized Phil’s vision beautifully.”

The music video was said to draw inspiration from fashion photography, trying to capture a sense of still photography while also a sense of quick movement. They wanted to make it energetic without being frenetic, grabbing Hilary’s natural nuances in the music and translating that to the video.

Did you love Hilary’s fabulous glam look from the “Reach Out” music video? Well, We Love Beauty has talked with Hilary’s make-up artist, Rachel Goodwin, and put together some make-up tips to help you get the look!

Rachel describes working with Hilary on the look for the “Reach Out” music video, and about Hilary not cheapening herself while pushing boundaries. Rachel notes that Hilary is “exploring her other side, discovering herself” in the music video. She wanted to create looks that would go with the rawness of the hand-held camera work.

Her three favorite looks are the cherry red lips / gold eye look, which was “slightly Jerry Hall and very late 70s/early 80s”, the deep red lip / purple eye look, which was Hilary’s favorite and very “in your face”, and a nude lips / purple eye look Rachel calls “the ringmaster”, which was playful and “pop art.”

Here are a couple of products from each look, with a full list of the make-up used for these 3 looks here.

If you go to Rachel’s website, you can see that Rachel has worked with Hilary on some of her more fabulous magazine shoots and her Dignity photoshoots as well!

Well, I don’t know many details about this version - who edited it, or for what purpose it was created - but a fourth version of the “Reach Out” music video has appeared. It’s still censored, in a way, but has new scenes. What do you think of this one??

Thanks Danyamara!

A third version of Hilary Duff’s “Reach Out” music video (original version | tv censored version) has been found! This video, edited by Barney Miller, features more of the choking scenes with also a bunch more artistic shots that didn’t make it into the final cut for the music video. I like it!

Also, according to E-Talk (via) Hilary Duff will be spending Thanksgiving with her mom (Mike Comrie has a game the next day) somewhere “stress-free”.

Hilary Duff’s latest video podcast takes us into part 3 in the behind-the-scenes look at the making of the “Reach Out” music video. In this video, it’s about 2am when Hilary continues filming the last shots of the evening. At least she can stay nice and warm in the hot tub for those sexy scenes! Love it when Ryan is lip synching!

Hilary takes some time to talk to her fans again at the end of the video, so be sure to watch it all!

Don’t forget to watch Part 1 and Part 2.

Hilary Duff’s new music video for her single “Reach Out” has been censored!! The version of the music video that will appear on tv has those “thumb-sucking” scenes cut out, and replaced with less explicit scenes.

Do you think this was necessary? Do you like the censored version any less, or maybe more?

Hilary Duff’s 80th video podcast picks up on the heels of her last one, and offers a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the “Reach Out” music video.

The start of the podcast shows a lot of scenes of Prophet, but then it moves onto Hilary filming the sexy scenes of her new music video. How hard it must be to act all sexy with so many people watching and those bright lights! About half way through the video, Ryan is carrying Hilary on his back (so cute) to go film some of the outdoor scenes at night.

The latest Hilary Duff video podcast is a behind-the-scenes look at Hilary Duff’s new music video for “Reach Out”, which premiered yesterday (check it out!).

This is the third behind-the-scenes look at “Reach Out”, and altogether the most comprehensive. It features Hilary narrating the look into the video, with a lot more look at the outfits Hilary wears and some footage from the video.

I just got an email from HilaryDuff.com that the new music video for “Reach Out”, Hilary’s latest single, will premiere on her MySpace on October 28th. It doesn’t say at what time of day it will premiere, so stay tuned there (or here) for full details!!

The music video for “Reach Out” was directed by Philip Andelman.

“Reach Out” is the new single for Hilary Duff’s upcoming album, “Best of Hilary Duff“, which will hit stores on November 4, 2008. Note: it used to be November 11th, but is now November 4th.

You can pre-order the album here or here.
