                  Eben Ostby joined the Pixar Animation Research and Development Group
                  (then the Lucasfilm Computer Graphics Project) in 1983.  With a
                  background in computer science in design, Mr. Ostby has designed
                  and implemented animation and modelling systems for three-dimensional
                  computer graphics.  He has also worked on a number of films.
                  He was Technical Director on Knickknack, Tin Toy  and

                  a computer animated mini-travelogue, which is considered a classic
