If you visited Google today, you’ll see one peculiar Google Doodle that is more elaborate than other days. For this year’s Halloween, Google decided to really go all out and used six humongous pumpkins to customize their logo into and present their festive spirit, presented in one time-lapse video that is really astonishing to see.
To celebrate Halloween this year, the doodle team wanted to capture that fascinating transformation that takes place when carving a pumpkin,” writes Sophia Foster-Dimino, a Google doodler. “Instead of picking up a few pumpkins from the grocery store, however, we decided to work on six giant pumpkins, specially delivered from nearby Half Moon Bay (some weighing well over 1,000 pounds).
Here you can see the actual video being used:
And then some fun behind-the-scenes to see how they managed to put it all together:
Super dedicated, though you sort of expect Google to go above and beyond. Happy Halloween!
