Single Ladies

Spent the last 12+ hours on campus slaving away to grind out a goofy short - all in honor of the UCLA Animation Workshop tradition, Falling Lizard. As mentioned in an earlier entry, the purpose of the event is for everyone to make a film (or films) around a common theme, agreed upon the first night and completed in a single weekend. This event is open to friends of the workshop and prospective students.

This year's theme was "Bad Dreams." Since the boys teamed up to create a CG masterpiece involving 70 virgins (don't ask...), a couple of us girls (namely Lil' Miss Blockhead and Feme) teamed up to fulfill my pop's dream of seeing Beyonce's "Single Ladies" in cartoon form. In order to meet the theme, our music video features the fugly man-hunter, Brunhilda (le cub, thank you very much for the name), who is as persistent in delivering her message to all boyfriends that, "If you like it then you should've put a ring on it," as she is enthusiastic when it comes to shaking her bubbly booty.

We had fun putting together this crudely animated piece. That said, we hope you enjoy watching it!
