Between 1986 and 1991, as an undergraduate graduate researcher in the MIT Media Lab, he began developing software for computer animation. While at MIT and after moving to Austin, TX in 1993, Sabiston used the software to create several short films, including "God's Little Monkey" and "Snack and Drink". In 1997, he had developed his interpolating rotoscope program, RotoShop, to the level where he won a animation contest put on by MTV. In 2000, Sabiston gave the same software to 30 graphic artists in the Austin area for use in making Richard Linklater's film "Waking Life".
