How does a stellar mass black hole actually form a singularity given the fact that there's gravitational time dilation?

Then you work backwards to see that the observer that is moving must have time dilation effects.

Also, wouldn't being in such proximity to a black hole negate the need for time dilation effects of speed anyway?
