This is what someone wrote about what he saw at the MATM Video Shoot in
New York. The person that wrote this wrote it on WoB Forums.

Ok guys, just like my own insider gave me the scoops for VMA's, this
time is this Britney/Madonna video shoot, enjoy :

Filmed three days, Oct. 8-9-10 Silver Studios East, Queens

Guy Ritchie left the studio...
at 2:45. He was wearing jeans and a blue Adidas-looking zipper jacket.
He walked around the lot a little, hugged a woman who had been hanging
outside Madonna's bus.
And then he left the lot altogether.

Madonna and Britney's busses were parked right night to each other.
Eventually, the driver reversed Madonna's bus, so her bus door was
adjacent to Britney's bus door.
At one point in the afternoon, Madonna went inside Britney's bus.
Britney hung outside her bus with Columbus and smoked during breaks.
At one point, Columbus yelled something to Britney as she went in her
bus, and Britney came out with a lighter.

A pit bull got injured on the set. In the video, the pit bull has some
part. A lot of the crew were laughing because the pit bull, which got
walked around the lot often, was entering the door when someone opened
it - on its toe, and its toenail fell off.
The pit bull shrieked loudly, and the owner flipped out. "Oh, my God!
How could this happen!" Apparently, the pit bull is an actor.
"Call 911" someone yelled. "If you need to take it to the hospital." But
the pit bull was fine after everyone relaxed.
The owner pulled it aside to a quiet part of the parking lot.

The concept of the video is that Britney and Madonna are in a club
trying to find each other. They're communicating telepathically. Soon,
it becomes a cat and mouse chase, and there is a maze.
Britney is in the hipster part of the club. She wears a tie around her
neck (think Avril Lavigne) and the backup people have streaks purple
hair, bright pink hair, dress in Urban Outfitters-type gear.
One guy had a hip white jacket and a tie around his neck and wore a
T-shirt.
Madonna, wearing a white pants suit, is hanging out among businessmen in
suits. At one point in the vid, Brit is on a huge swing, and there's a
lot of smoke.

The video is directed by Paul Hunter, who has directed a lot of hip hop
videos. Britney and Madonna would throw in suggestions and offer input
to Hunter.
It wasn't just the director in charge .

No cell phones were allowed on the set, which seemed to irritate the
crew more than "all of the waiting" between shoots.
"They won't allow us to bring cell phones on the set. This is the first
time I'm checking my voicemail," I overheard someone say.
Also, no recording devices, cameras, cell phone, nothing was allowed on
the set, per the request of Britney and Madonna.

Britney kept requesting Starbucks. I counted about three Starbucks runs.
Britney did not seem daunted by all of the work. She was giddy and
playful.
She playfully punched bodyguard at one point, but mostly smoked and
talked to people from her team.
She did not appear lovey-dovey with Columbus. At one point, someone
arrived on the set with an OK! magazine (the large English tabloid), and
everyone was pointing to a picture and laughing.

At 7:53 p.m. Columbus followed Britney into her bus.

Rocco was on the set with the nanny a lot. I was sitting on a forklift,
and Rocco came up and pretended to drive it. He was playing on the
ground.
The nanny would fly him around as if he were an airplane. He was on the
video set because when I first saw him, Madonna was holding him as she
walked off the set to her bus.

During one of the breaks, Britney and Madonna were kneeling in front of
Rocco outside of Britney's bus door. Britney was asking him how old he
was.
"Are you this many?" she'd ask, holding up her fingers.

Madonna had two personal umbrella handlers at all times, so no one could
photograph her.
Othertimes, she walked around freely - she has this cool swagger or
saunter when she walks - on to the set.
She definitely had a presence.

Britey's oufits:
1. First appeared in a orange T-shirt and jeans
2. Tie around her neck (a navy collar, and a tie)
3. A black, strappy S&M-esque outfit

During a break, Britney ate Cheetos and took a bite of Columbus' panini
sandwich after he told her to. Kind of like, Try this.

When Madonna arrived, she asked, Is Britney here? and pointed to Brit's
bus door. She then went into makeup for three hours.
She looked bad w/out makeup. Eyes all puffy.

Nick Lachey showed up, supposedly as support. He's a friend of Brit's.
It's filmed in same studio as Hope and Faith.

Columbus is in the vid as a dancer and also helped with choreography.

Guy came on Wed. night while Madge was filming. Her face lit up. She
gave him a mini-wave.

At one point, Columbus was making noises with some lighters and Brit was
bopping her head back and forth.
