Diane Martel, director of Britney Spears “3″ Music video told Life & Style magazine about working with Britney in the “3″ video saying it’s “her next sexy video”: “I think it’s her next sexy video, It’s a very simple video for her — I don’t think you’ve seen her this much under a magnifying glass. Everything’s really strong and playful.”

Martel says that Britney has helped her in the wardrobe for the video as well as hair and makeup and on the process of choosing the music video’s choreographers: “We collaborated on the wardrobe and had meetings about hair and makeup people. We talked a lot on the phone and met Tone and Rich — two of the best choreographers.”

Martel adds that Britney is a great artist to work with: “She’s so sweet and funny and so normal and down to earth. It’s really fun as a director to see her in front of the camera. She’s so creative with this stuff. The video is very simple, it’s very, very minimal. So it’s her, her, her. And she’s totally engaging every second. She really knows how to work with a camera and move. I was really impressed, and I have worked almost with every female artist in the business.”

Diane has directed, among many other music videos: “Heartbreaker” (1998, Mariah Carey), “Like I Love You” (2002, Justin Timberlake), “Nobody’s Home” (2004, Avril Lavigne), “Listen” (2006, Beyonce), “Love Sex Magic” (2009, Ciara), “Mad” (2009, Ne-Yo) and “America’s Suitehearts” (2009, Fallout Boy).
