Hypothetical OSO short
If I were to direct the short (how would that be possible if OSO is collaborative?), it would begin with Phonograph walking to the scene to heavy applause. She does a little bow before playing music. Holly instantly notices and runs to listen. Crayon Box is curious about Holly's love of music and asks the crayons to spawn a grand piano. The experiment works. Over time, more contestants join, with a diverse rhapsody drawing inspiration from Alan Becker's Note Block shorts. When the music end, the characters cheer, accompanied by a background standing ovation. Everyone stands up and bows. This draws inspiration from atmospheres at large concert halls, as well as the aforementioned shorts and Beyond the Walls, a short film from Animusic.
