I thought the idea was funny so I animated it. This is a strictly cg twerking turkey. For those who don't know, Twerking is a type of dancing in which an individual, often female, moves to music involving thrusting hip movements and a low squatting stance. Twerking is also known as "booty shaking" and "bounce" depending on the context. In 2005, a trio of teenage girls founded the "Twerk Team", and joined YouTube on June 5, 2009. The team is now composed of two African American sisters from Atlanta, Georgia. Since the foundation of the team, they have been posting videos of "them gyrating and shaking their butts, to a point that it's artistic". It has been making the whole world laugh regardless of age, standing, or even political affiliation (shocking right?) Everything you see I made. Music is by myself using royalty free samples.

I love that the climax of the film was both a great punch line and a scathing review of how technology can sometimes get in the way of the very thing we want. All dude had to do was continue talking to the girl in front of him, but he instead figured it would be better to take a chance on a cyber-date he might not ever meet. I love it!

Astonishing! It is equally as tragic as it is laugh-out-loud funny. I couldn't think of a more accurate snapshot of Generation Y, from the individualism portrayed at the beginning down to the techno-social existentialism at the end. I especially enjoyed the use of sound. All we are given as a window into the character's world is emotive music, the protagonist's laugh, and the chiming of devices. The dialogue is surprisingly effective despite being written in the form of glances. I regret to say it, but this is the contemporary experience of youthful romance captured in 3 minutes.
