Film

Today at work I got to see part of the SIGGRAPH 2010 Electronic Theater. It's a collection of the best CG short films of the year.

This one by Daihei Shibata was my favorite. Watch it full screen if you can.

Wow...

I used to be able to play that piano piece. :)

My dad would sometimes bring home movies of SIGGRAPH shorts back when he worked at Microsoft, always really cool to watch.

I can't remember if I learned this exact piano piece but I did take piano. How far did you get with it?

I took piano lessons from when I was about 4 or 5 to the end of 10th grade. I was never all that into it, unfortunately. Mostly went because my mom really wanted me to (her whole family is massively into classical music, she plays some piano and was a dj at a classical music radio station for a while). I could technically play pretty well, but I was a bit annoyed because my teachers wouldn't teach me any music theory, classical music was never really my thing, and I couldn't get emotionally into much of what I was playing. This piece was one of the ones I liked, though. Debussy is neat. I think it was one of the last ones I learned.

How long did you take piano?

But I think you should totally be playing guitar instead of piano.

I agree! XD

I liked it but shashigai had to take it too and he didn't, he really wanted to learn violin instead but he wasn't allowed.

That really sucks. :( Did he ever get to learn it?

I wish you could have learned my music theory instead of me! I hated it, I thought it was really boring and I just wanted to play.

Aww man, if only there was some way to go back in time and trade this stuff!

Yeah! I would have some music-stuff to trade too.
