I found it really clever, as the smoke monster symbolises his addiction to cigarettes and how damaging they are. We are then shown that by playing the piano, he is fighting the adduction, even though it keeps coming back!

These guys need to be recognised for their amazing animation skills! Great job!

Now thats how u play music 🎹

The smoke monster .... maybe from something more than a mere cigarette....is trying to kill the Hero. He realizes his folly and fights the smoke monster with his music. He finally gets transformed into a very successful musician.👍

Aye he killing that piano.... "LOW-KEY"

Plot twist: the magic blue girl steals people who play piano then turns them into smoke monster things. The smoke people are trying to get their revenge.

Creepy and cool

Very nice!!!!!!

So cooooll

So that's y u don't smoke. Ull fall into a piano

My way of seeing this is "The key was missing,He had to find his key,she was the key,she was his inspiration,his music,he was happy again,he performed at the bar" it was VERY good,loved how the sound of the key had the power to shine on the dark monster as a way to attack. Yes,She was the missing key,if im not mistaken,all the wooden statues were a key,and she was taken off place,she was the strongest key,or weak? or valuable? I dont know,something about her stuck out and the beast just had to have her taken out so he could get stronger.

The character's eyes were always brown. The slightly different shade may have been due to the lighting or to the change in mood.

Now I get why this is called "Missing Key".

make more touching short film please!!

For any one wondering what this short is about, check the description.

jesus the guy took two smokes and immediately put it in the tray. waste of a cig! no but seriously really good animation. props on the lighting!

That´s kind awesome, ¿ Do you work in relation with that?

Cute

Dead key; no "missing"

Wait, so did the missing key take the from of the guy and left the piano, leaving the guy to fill her place?

Even I can play like that

It's like tron, but in a magic piano.

Yes, let's light a match in the middle of an entirely wooden piano.

A. That wasn't literal, Idk how often you fight smoke monsters and see blue glowing girls but yeah lol. B. Similar to having a lantern or camp fire in a forest, things do not catch fire because something in their proximity are on fire. Takes direct contact for most woods to catch fire.

A: Just because there's magic involved or that it's not real, doesn't mean that basic laws of science don't apply. B: If you were in a dark, abandoned oil well (a new surrounding) would you light a match?

Option A:He has lost the passion of playing the piano. Then he falls into the piano (that is actually a reference to himself) and he falls back in love with the music and finds the missing piece to feel whole. Because playing keeps his muse safe. Option B: He lost someone close to him. so he finds the music may keep him/her. Option C: The cigarrete represent a vice. The bad guy in this case it's a smoky creature. So it may mean that vices affect your work in a bad way. Option D: Whatever you want it to mean. The way you see it will depend on your life until now. It depends on your history and learnings. So, if it didn't make sense to you now, try to watch it again in a week from now, or a year from now. Because even if the images are the same, the prespective you look at them will constantly change. Hope i answered your question! ;) Have a nice day/afternoon/night (depending where you're from)!

But yeah, Harvey Arias is right because in the description it says: "Check out this touching 3D animated short called "Missing Key" as a young pianist has to slay his stage fright in order to free his artistic inspiration! Created by the talented team of Romane André, Robin Lavigne, Justine Landau, Francis Lacogne, Livia Macon, Pauline Renaud."

Anyone seen the gramps from courtyard at 5:43?

There was a darkness trying to keep them apart. Unfortunately, not every story has a happy ending.

Music is a light in the darkness?

damn those are hella long fingers ✋

Gotta love a good ivory tickler ;)

Can someone please tell me the second piano song? The start of the video

How come his eyes were green when he was inside of the piano?

a scene from stranger things!! 4:30

Anyone else reminded of MatPat when they saw the protagonist?

What was the story message?? Didn't get that😼

whats that black smoke?

a la fin on voit le papy d'un précédent court metrage!!!

While I was watching this all I could think about is how it must smell like wood so bad in there

5:43 There's no way he's playing that with just two hands

I guess she got back in place....

Anyone else thought the beginning of the song kinda sounded like megalovania?

Hi,CGBros, Thank you for all the anime videos you've been showing to us your audience. They are all fascinating and superbly done but I'm sure many more would have appreciated them better had you made brief explanation on what the stories are all about,instead of leaving us your viewers in the dark or guessing what it really is all about. Remember,the WORLD is your VIEWERS and of diverse culture,so in order for your messages to be more effective to all classes of people, young and old alike, MAKE A BRIEF EXPLANATION at the beginning of the story so we may understand it better. I truly like all your videos,it's just that I can not fathom some of them and the ideas seemed alien to me and I'm sure I am not alone in thinking that way so PLEASE BE MORE EXPLICIT about your stories.

First

I actually didn't get the story. I thought it was about his smoking.

What if the guy saved her and the girl would run away and get out of the piano, and the man’s soul got sucked out of him and became the missing note~ repeat

I got an idea can you make your face reavel

So I get what happened, but why? How? What importance does it have? What's different about the glowy blue girl vs the rest of the living notes? Why bother to show us that the others are living and watching him if they never actually do anything? I understand that the message here is the guy has to play all the notes because it keeps darkness and dust away., but the glow was never even attempted to be explained. And what's up with the 9 blue spheres at the beginning? To tell us that some wood's just magic?
