In 1996-1997, as graduate students at Ohio State, some friends and I made a computer-animated short film featuring a procedurally-animated upright piano driven by a reproducing piano roll. Our little film was shown at SIGGRAPH 97 and several other animation festivals and ultimately landed us jobs at Pixar Animation Studios, where I worked on the films A Bug's Life and Toy Story 2.
