Doodle 4, Google 2014

Bless.

There were over 100,000 submissions for Google's 7th annual doodle contest. Goodness, that is a lot. 250 semifinalists with 50 State winners.  First place from all that, 11 year-old Audrey Zhang from New York. \o/

"To make the world a better place, I invented a transformative water purifier. It takes in dirty and polluted water from rivers, lakes, and even oceans, then massively transforms the water into clean, safe and sanitary water, when humans and animals drink this water, they will live a healthier life."

- Audrey Zhang, 11

We quickly lost count of all the delightful elements of Audrey’s doodle. So in the spirit of this year’s theme, we asked Audrey to spend a day with the doodlers to turn her illustration into a moving animation. As an animator and director for a day, she made sure we twinkled each light and cleaned the water just right and took extra care for the  illustration’s dragons—about whom she is also writing a novel.  

Details.

Check out the animated version here, while it is still up.
