Nightmare in the Morning, animator Yonatan Tal's 3rd year CalArts student film, takes us along on one alien tyrant's musical journey toward wakefulness.

Original song performed by Natalie Perez, written by Abby Lyons, and available on Bandcamp.

(Yonatan's film from last year, Aquarium, is entirely different from this one but also extremely good.)

It's good and right that this was posted the same day and after the Rock alarm clock, but I feel like it should have come several hours later, not minutes.

He's nailed Lady Gaga's music video style on this - she should contract him for a music video!
