A few days ago Philipp posted about the Gmail Art Ad video on Google Blogoscoped, and the Official Gmail Blog today shared more behind-the-scene information about the video.

162 meters of gray tape, 45 lego pieces, 32 sticks of plasticine, 18 brushes, 18 square meters of batten, 12 cans of spray paint, 10 liters of white paint, 4 reams of paper, 2 kilograms of millet porridge, 1 printer, 1 hair dryer, 1 mop, and 1 saw.

And that the M at the end of the video was created using “3 sweaters, 3 balls, 3 pillows, 2 dumbbells, 2 pair of gloves, a set of child’s plates, a hockey stick, a scarf, a paper folder, hats and slippers.”

The video’s YouTube page explained that this video was “produced [by Saatchi Moscow] for Google to attract more Russian people on GMail.”
