"Everyday" with Dean Karr

[DEAN KARR]

It was a tremendous honor to Direct Stevie Nicks music video for "Everyday". I had a great time collaborating with her on every level! My favorite scene was the black hedges with the two black swans. She looked KILLER at this location. Someone just this morning asked me to elaborate on the story Stevie told on the "Crystal Visions" dvd about me asking her to lie in the swan pond. It took me a minute to remember this, but I was after a performance of her appearing as if "floating" weightlessly on top of the water, as I shot it from directly above her while she sang her lyrics. I knew it was a stretch, but hey, at least I asked her.....It was a two day shoot and I remember being so excited to get to set each morning to make beautiful images with her. I've compiled a truly rare and intimate "Behind the Scenes" book, which I'm making available to fans of hers and mine. If anyone has questions about the shoot or is interested in obtaining one of these cool books email me at [email protected] they are $175 each + $15 insured shipping and handling. Payapl is best and I will get out to you the same day I receive payment via Priority Mail, which usually takes to days to get to your doorstep.

[kak125]

wow thank you for sharing! these pics are really cool.

[GODDESS6]

very cool shots, i love this video & the black swan part is one of my favs in the video, along w/ her in the peach dress~

[BTFLCHLD]

The director of "Everyday" has visited The Ledge?! <img src="http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a152/BTFLCHLD/YAHOO/SmileyTHUD.gif">

Great work!!! I would love to see more BTS of this video shoot...cool shots below...are there more??

Jill, refresh my memory, did Stevie say she liked that peach dress? And, didn't she make a comment regarding the dead-table and tree-waiting concepts?

[RockALittle250]

Thanks for sharing these with us Dean!

By the way, since you directed the Dave Matthews Band "Crash into Me" music video, what do you think of Stevie's cover of "Crash" that's on her upcoming CD?

The peach dress wasn't a "hit" for myself or Stevie. It was made by two costume designers and wasn't available to preview until on set. The outcome dampened the day for a moment, but we got back on track.

[nailatixela]

I thought producers get paid enough money so they don't have to sell stuff like this? :lol: However I might like something like this for the best music video in the world - Gypsy. I know you already sold all of these pics on ebay Dean - thankfully a fan posted them some time for us all.

Stevie said she hated the peach dress.

It also sounded like Stevie and Dean didn't get along very together very well.

I have to say, of all Stevie's videos, with and without Fleetwood Mac, Everyday is my favorite. It just captures her essence completely. Those pictures are beautiful... any Stevie fan would love to have them!

So was the theme for the video your idea?

Is Stevie as much of a diva to work with as she'd seem like? :laugh:

[BTFLCHLD]

My favorite parts of the video are stevie 'grayscale', the dinner table present/haunt, the black swans and rock visuals and that verycool thingy that happens at 1:18...hehe. :D

[gretchen]

Dean thank you so much for sharing these beautiful images. "Everyday" is a gorgeous piece of work.

[ontheEdgeof17]

Besides her Tusk look, Stevie in the peach dress has been my favorite look of hers. I don't know why she didn't like it? :shrug:

[GODDESS6]

i agree w/ you curtis, the dress, the hairstyle, just gorgeous!!!~

[DEAN KARR]

Besides her Tusk look, Stevie in the peach dress has been my favorite look of hers. I don't know why she didn't like it? :shrug:

It came down to the wire as far as nobody knowing how exactly it would fit till we were on set. Thats just the way that it goes sometimes with production, especially when record labels don't award the jobs until four days before shooting. The couple who made it needed every last hour to finish it. When it arrived on set it was a combo of Stevie and I being unhappy with the color and the ruffles. We expected a little different hue and the fit of the dress needed to be re-adjusted a bit on set. We overcame it and moved on, but it was a bit of an issue. You could always ask Nailatixela she seems to KNOW quite a bit, I didn't know she was on set......

[BTFLCHLD]

GOT IT! Thanks I'll check that link out.

[UndoingTheLaces]

I for one would be very interested in this book. Please let us know when it's completed how we might get a copy. I thought the video was breathtaking and loved all the hard work you put into it. Thanks for visiting us here on The Ledge.

Would you mind letting us in on the inspiration behind the video. I know it's been discussed here before but it would be really interesting hearing it right from the horses mouth, so to speak. :)

[HejiraNYC]

Dean, I have to join the chorus of well-wishers here. A much belated "thank you" for producing such a stunning piece of work. It is by far the most vivid and haunting of Stevie's videos, as well as the most creative. Regarding some of the imagery, I can't help but wonder whether you drew inspiration from Carly Simon's "Boys in the Trees," especially the part where the boys are, um, up in the trees. :lol: I have been trying to find the hidden meaning behind the big feast, the rodent invasion of said feast and the subsequent dozing off (or death?) of the guests of said feast. Well... even if there is no real meaning to any of this, the imagery is still breathtaking and surreal.

Also, I love the B&W shot you chose for the cover of the book. Can this be purchased as a large-scale piece?

[nailatixela]

IYou could always ask Nailatixela she seems to KNOW quite a bit, I didn't know she was on set......


Yeah, well I'm the kind of GUY who doesn't talk to much so you must not have noticed me. :p

Stevie has talked about this video before - that's where I learned she didn't like the dress if you are upset over that. Thank god you and Stevie overcame the dress. I just got the feeling you and Stevie didn't get along good from her video commentary for Everyday, that's all. She said something like you must think of her as a female black swan (or some other animal, I'm clueless) because she was grumpy.

[Ghosty]

I love this video. A book would be very cool. I love the black swans, and the black dress is amazing. From what little I have seen of the ivory/white dress, that is quite beautiful too, and I love her hair in that scene. Even though there is no wedding cake or anything on the table it always reminds me of Great Expectations. The peach dress always struck me as an unusual choice, but now I see it wasn't what had originally been intended. It reminds me of a bridesmaid's dress gone awry. But - Stevie Nicks seems to be able to pull anything off, even that. :)

[Enchanted_Stevi]

HEY DEAN!!
First of all...WELCOME to The Ledge =)
Second...I must say that "Everyday" is such an AWESOME music video!! Too bad you and Stevie didnt like the peach dress. I really liked it on her and thought the color looked great on her. But hey Stevie knows best =P Also, I think video outtakes from the shoot would be awesome ;)

I'll be dropping you an email shortly about the book :wavey:

[Enchanted_Stevi]

please...<img src="http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a152/BTFLCHLD/pls.gif"> must have this book ASAP!

I want it too HAH

[PenguinHead]

I agree, the video is one of the best produced video she's done. Too bad it's for a song she didn't write, and one she has completely forgotten. It's pleasant and just a little generic. I wonder if she was given the song and told to record it for the sole intent of having a hit. Granted, it did get fair air play, but it's one of her songs that you'll never see on any future compilations.

[marinnette]

woooww dean!!!!!!

thank you for sharing this! u don't know how much this means to us!

I love this video and have wondered about the "men in trees" and other imagery as well. Would love to hear more about the inspiration..and those wonderful black swans.

[gldstwmn]

I have been trying to find the hidden meaning behind the big feast, the rodent invasion of said feast and the subsequent dozing off (or death?) of the guests of said feast.

It's my favorite part of the video. It's almost like a representation of former her lovers. I also know that some people thought that Rappacini's Daughter was a big inspiration in this video.

[StreetAngel86]

i love the white dress at the end too
and her hair is perfect

Mama poisoned them all :D

[whitewingdove73]

Thank you for sharing those pictures with us Dean.

I have to disagree with you in one thing.

I thought Stevie looked gorgeous with the Peach dress. She looked kinda liked she looked back in 1982. The hair, the color of the dress...everything. So believe it or not I adored that style the best from the whole video. :thumbsup:

I loved the swans too btw :p

[Bella Figura]

Hi Dean, thank you for sharing your pics and thoughts about working with Stevie on her Everyday Video...it's also my favorite...I will add my name to the list of those interested in a book compilation...thank you again!! :nod:

[silversprings62]

Hey Dean!
I don't know about anyone else, but I would love a book with behind the scenes stories about our girl. We get so very little of this kind of information, it would be a treat to have a first hand account from someone who was given the privilege to work with Stevie. So I hope you get a lot of positive responses and thank you so much for posting here!

[sleepless child]

Thanks Dean for showing us the great photos from your video shoot. I loved the video and would also be greatly interested in the book. Any tidbits about the shoot you want to share? :D

[PoetofRhiannon]

Wow. I would love to have a copy of such an awesome book!
:]

Add me to da list!
:D

[Christopher]

"Everyday" is a beautiful video right down the line, from the production, to the abstract imagery. And Stevie looks down right gorgeous in it!! By far her best video, in my opinion since "Gypsy".
Kudo's to Dean for re-capturing the mystique of Stevie in all her glory!

That black and white also comes in a color version, I will post those later or tomorrow. They are both editions of 25, with 5 artist proofs and available either through my gallery in Maui or directly from me. Probably cheaper through me....they are massive prints (20x24) $600 + $15 insured Priority Mail. I could also email you a small jpeg.

You made the Marilyn Manson video for Sweet Dreams?

I don't see Stevie's Everyday video on your site though.

[JazmenFlowers]

I have to agree that this is one of my favorite Stevie videos. she looked gorgeous.

Dean, have you heard Stevie's version of "Crash into Me" yet from her upcoming CD? I'd love to know what you think of her version.

[Phoenix]

The Everyday video is PERFECTION. It ALWAYS wins here on the ledge when all us fans take a poll to rate our favorite video from her solo career. I used to live in Australia and there used to be black swans that lived in a pond across the street from my house. I miss seeing them. When i saw the video it was really heartwarming to see my all-time favorite artist and black swans!!! (a random paring i never thought id see!)
Awhile ago i had purchased some of the "everyday proofs" that are Stevie in that infamous peach dress in "the forest" that are beautiful, do you sell larger reproductions of those? Again, i want to tell you that I LOVE the song Everyday, and your video and concept made it even better! (also, i hear ur a Rush fan, so that alone means u rock!)

[DEAN KARR]

Dean, have you heard Stevie's version of "Crash into Me" yet from her upcoming CD? I'd love to know what you think of her version.

No I haven't but did hear about that, I can't wait to hear that.

[bikerchic]

Another one here that LOVES the peach dress! Welcome Dean (great name by the way, it's my son's name :thumbsup:). I also love the video, although I'm not a big fan of the song. The video visually, is stunningly beautiful. Great job!

[ricohv]

Hey Dean...and welcome! Like everyone else here, I love love love the video-and although Stevie didn't write Everyday I thought it was very prettty and should have been at least a big adult contemporary hit-especially with such a great video. I too am very interested in the book and any details you feel compelled to share about working with Stevie. Thanks again....Ricoh.

[GypsyGirl15]

That first one is so gorgeous ... is there any way you could make smaller prints or photo prints available for people that can't afford to spend $600?

[nailatixela]

Signed 9.25x11 inch proof sheets of either $65 + $7 priority mail

Just a question - Are these signed by Stevie, or yourself?

Dean, have you spoken with Chris Nicks...?

[WildHeart69]

Dean, have you spoken with Chris Nicks...?

HA! (if not, they might get higher!)

[WildHeart69]

I am actually surprised that no mods have taken down these threads...I thought we couldnt do stuff like this on here?

Simply loved this photo from our "Everyday" shoot, just wanted to share with everyone.. She looks super great and peaceful here!

[Glittermoondust]

Yes welcome to the Ledge! I bought some of your photos off of ebay but would also be interested in the book.....

[CADreaming]

Nice one -DK

Dean, was the entire concept yours? How much input did Stevie have or add?

Thanks!

[starshine]

Hi Dean : Welcome to the Ledge .....I don't mind the ED video....Its a great video but its not my favorite song of Stevies either. I like the peach dress also but I always thought it looked pink to me not peach. Its better than Stevie always wearing black. That gets boring after awhile....I'd love a book as well....I've seen them on ebay but they are pricey. So if its high I guess I'll have to pass on it......Although it would be cool to have. Thanks for sharing the info.....enjoy The Ledge.....its great here!!!!!:D:angel:

[DEAN KARR]

Dean, was the entire concept yours? How much input did Stevie have or add?

Thanks!

I wrote the nuts and bolts of it and fine tuned it sitting with her over a couple days. The banquet scene was totally inspired from Great Expectations.

Thanks

D.

[StandbackStevie]

yes welcome dean to the ledge love the video to Everyday,would love to buy a copy of the book your putting together on the making of the video with stevie did you also direct the video of Sorcerer? love anything with Stevie so how was it like working with stevie and would you work with her again in the future?

[LukeA]

Hi Dean,

Can you share how you were selected to direct the video for "Every Day"? Stevie is on record saying how much she's loved the song "Crash Into Me" (which, as others have already pointed out, she recently covered). Do you know if this influenced the decision to have you involved with the video? The two videos are more than a little similar to each other.

[Enchanted_Stevi]

GORGEOUS shots!!

[tlssln]

Besides her Tusk look, Stevie in the peach dress has been my favorite look of hers. I don't know why she didn't like it? :shrug:

Well, I guess we're in the minority but I thought she looked awesome in it.

[tlssln]

I have to agree that this is one of my favorite Stevie videos. she looked gorgeous.

So true. I wish I could say I liked the song better though.

[StreetAngel86]

I'm glad everyone has been enjoying the "Everyday" video stories and pictures, below you will see the two photo editions I have available from my "Everyday" music video. The classic hedge shot comes in color or black and white. I currently have the black and white in glossy or matte (within same edition). The glossy one has more contrast than the matte, so a matter of taste per collector. Each signed edition consists of only 25 prints and 5 artist proofs. The prints are very large (20x24 inches) and when framed will make a huge statement on anyone's wall, as well as be the envy of any Stevie fan who might come to your house. I also have signed proof sheets of two different peach dress (the infamous peach dress) proof sheets. Email me for more info about these rare images @ [email protected] and please visit my new website at DEANKARR.COM

We're glad that Dean Karr has joined us on The Ledge and have very much enjoyed hearing about the making of the Everyday video.

We have received queries from a couple of Ledgies asking about the propriety of offering pictures and books for sale. While our guidelines do generally prohibit "Advertising or any form of commercial solicitation for sale products, services or other websites," we consider this case to be an exception.

Mr. Karr worked directly with Stevie Nicks and was the video's creator. He is not offering a derivative product, but collectible items from the original source. Even for those who cannot purchase his books and pictures, we think Mr. Karr's presence has benefitted the discussion here and provided us with firsthand insight into a band member's work.

Obviously, we want to avoid spam, but in the limited circumstance where someone has worked directly with the band or one of its members, we appreciate having them come here and share their band stories and recollections and also think it's appropriate to let them announce or offer any unique items they may have available.

Right, and the bottom line is, if you're not interested, don't look or buy. I would much rather buy from the source (if I wasn't a social worker and actually had some money-lol) than someone else who got the stuff second or third hand. :shrug: Not to mention, maybe if we're all NICE, Dean will share some stories of his experience working with Stevie.

I wasn't the first person in this thread to question Dean's motives, and I'm sure I won't be the last. By their own acknowledgment, the Ledge Moderators received enough queries in order to go on record with a position & clarify their long-standing policy stance prohibiting commercial solicitation. While that decision clears the way for Dean to discuss the video with us and promote a full line of "Every Day" collectibles (which I can't say I entirely disagree with, as a large portion of this community is clearly interested), there are apparently more than just a few of us who are wary of our community becoming a marketplace.

Maybe its just me, but there's a clear difference between someone like, oh, Bob Welch (a valued member of the Ledge) joining in on discussions and promoting his latest CD or concert, and the director of a music video who signs up for different fan communities- the relevance of the DMB link- just when he's about to release some new "rarities" for sale (going back to the Ledge Moderators position- are they truly "unique items" when they can be duplicated/produced ad infinitum?) We're not talking about one-of-a-kind exceptions here). Speaking of that, is Dean even legally authorized to do so? (that's an honest question- I have no idea whether the director of a music video automatically assumes all potential ancillary rights for video related merchandise or not).

a few of us who are wary of our community becoming a marketplace. understandable, and certainly expressing your position as you now have is appreciated...obviously, I found your "i'm sure" w/link to be quite disparaging when I, personally, am interested in Dean's posts. I am also interested in his directorial experiences with the various artists he has worked with...not just Stevie.

Just my two cents... :shrug:

[Somajoseph]

Luke, is it necessary to be so nasty? Here is the link for The original DMB posting (http://www.thesedayscontinue.org/showthread.php?t=200934)...what was the point in posting another's forum's bitchabout it? Some people, fans for various artists Dean has directoed videos for, are interested in perhaps prints and discussion about the shoots themselves. Obviously, you're not, but why try to drag everyone else down? Your post is ridic, unwelcoming and rude...IN MY OPINION.

Everytime I read a post by Luke, it is negative , pissy, and really, can you just ease up on the negativity. You are entitled to your opinion, but that dosent make it fact. Lighten up.

Now, really... "every time"? You must not have been reading this particular board recently, then.

If you read my post, you would see that I acknowledged the appeal & interest of this thread, despite the fact that I happen to disagree with its intentions. I'm trying to be as objective as possible.

I love the imagery contained within the "Everday" clip but can't get past the peach dress, which actually spoils the entire clip for me. I also dislike the white gown and her hair up in the bun, which in my opinion, is completely unflattering to Stevie. I wonder if there is any chance of re-editing the clip to remove the peach and white dress sequences? Just stick to the black and you can't go wrong...

[DEAN KARR]

She's looking great is every frame here, yup the black is always a winner! I love the stormy sky behind...

Another one here that LOVES the peach dress! Welcome Dean (great name by the way, it's my son's name :thumbsup:). I also love the video, although I'm not a big fan of the song. The video visually, is stunningly beautiful. Great job!

Great photo!

To read these post, it seems many agree with you.
Not me though, I thought she looked great in the
peach dress. I like the video too.

[LiamMcConville]

Dean, love all these rarities you're posting. Bought one of your photo-album collections a while back, love it. Thanks. :thumbsup:

[nailatixela]

Hey Dean - were you ever able to get in touch with Karen?

[DEAN KARR]

I just came across these old photos of the VERY crystal ball Stevie held in my "Everyday" music video. There's something very spiritual about these pix to me. Enjoy and have a good weekend!!:blob1::blob1::blob1:

My first super big projects ever were.....

TOOL UNDERTOW
PANTERA FAR BEYOND DRIVEN
DAVE MATTHEWS BAND CRASH INTO ME
MARILYN MANSON SWEET DREAMS

I didn't know that you produced Pantera's "Far Beyond Driven" video. My brother and I were good friends of Dimebag Darrell when I used to live in Ft.Worth and Dallas. I was sitting with Dimebag Darrell at his VIP table during his cd release party in Feb. 04, for the release of Damageplan's (his band he formed after Pantera) debut album "New Found Power". Me and several friends of mine in Dallas and Arlington were devastated when Dimebag Darrell was shot and killed (10 months later) that following December 8th 2004 at their performance at Alrosa Villa in Columbus, Ohio.

Dean, I don't believe in hocus pocus, but I looked into the
crystal ball and it seemed to be saying you should give it to me.
If not there might be something .............(ah, you wouldn't want
to know your future would you?).

Probaly not....
