Make your own Gmail Grimace video

Posted by Mathew Patterson on April 11, 2008 in

Recently we posted the Gmail Appeal video put together from many of your excellent photos. We couldn't squeeze all the photos in unfortunately, and still the keep the video a reasonable length.

No need to lament if you missed out though, because here is your chance to download all the photos and put together your own Gmail video (or other project) to reach the right people at Gmail and start a conversation with them. Just download the zip file, which contains 60+ photos, plus an Email Standards Project logo and a Gmail logo, and get started.

Once you've got your project done, be sure to let us know and we can point to it from here too, so others can check it out. I'm sure you guys are full of excellent ideas and we'd love to see what you come up with.

Download the full set of Gmail Grimaces (5.7mb zip).

The video you put together was good enough for gmail to respond or even consider.  Lets see if someone comes up with a better one.

I’m sure people can still have some fun with it, and more attention from Google can only help!

It’s pretty funny. I like the slow pan with voiceover and tinkly piano notes. I think my favorite’s the guy reading the CSS book.

Hope Google will finally get the message. On a totally personal note: my photo was rejected!

Does Gmail ever make you grimace? Most users would probably say no. However, if you’re a web designer you might have a different story to tell…

What a moving video. I think you should join The Screen Actors Guild and see if you can get residuals from future projects using the (unfortunately) memorable photo of you.

Google has tons of pranks for this year’s April Fool’s Day, including Gmail Custom Time, Virgle: The Adventure of Many Lifetimes, Google Wake Up Kit, and more!

* Gmail Custom Time: It enables you to send email back until April 1, 2004.
* Google Human Search (Chinese): searches 250 million volunteers by their personal characteristics.

I don’t know if the email designer for EB Games participated in the Email Standards Project’s just-released Project Gmail Grimace video, but they should have. This is what their emails look like when viewed in Gmail.
