The video was directed by Sophie Muller. We're really not feeling the excessive use of cheap green screen effects as of late. We give credit to Shakira though for making up for it in other areas (i.e the choreo).

Shakira gave her first televised performance of her newest single, "Give It Up to Me," on Tuesday’s "Late Show with David Letterman." The music video featuring Lil Wayne, was directed by Sophie Muller (Beyoncé, Gwen Stefani, Pink, Maroon 5) is scheduled to debut later this week. Check out her interview below.
