For the Google Demo Slam, three animators Tu+, Namroc, and Metcalf Anything put together an animation completely in Google Docs. Three days, 450 slides, and they got the video below. A tool might be limited, but you can still get a lot done with a little bit of imagination.

First thing that came into my mind: Some people have too much spare time to spend on such out-of-work stuff. :) (Hmm… Maybe this is what they are paid for.)
Second: Cool idea, cool work!
Its entertaining and if it was fun to make, i’d say that’s time well spent :).
did you at least have a cookie and a break

You seem to be really good at giving a -ve spin to everything that you stumble upon!
Yeah, that thing just screams too much free time on your hands, boy. But it is nifty, for all of that.

Why does everyone assume that people have too much time on their hands? Do you say that to an artist? Good work guys, I thought it was incredible, and not a waste of time :)
So, how is this even remotely possible? I like Google Docs, and have no idea to do most of these effects. Is there a solid training site for Docs to learn this?
Alright that was pretty flipped out

..very nice. I still need to try, but looks very promising. I hope I can replace expensive Microsoft
I have used Google Docs in the past for create a Powerpoint presentation for college. I had no idea Docs create animation! Impressive.
That looks so cool. I’m using google docs a lot for my work but I guess there is another side to everything. Thnx guys!
Amazing piece of work :)
creativity within contraints. My favorite!
Very cool. A great potencial for a “small” program. Never understimate free programs. Google is a prof of that.
