Lately, Google has been having a great deal of fun with their doodles. They have decided to wish us all a happy Halloween by creating a short time-lapse video of some of their employees carving out six particularly large pumpkins at their headquarters in Mountain View, California.

We’re not so sure about the combination of music, but the actual video is pretty cool, even featuring an employee dressed up as Santa at one stage.

This is also the first time Google has done something like this for one of their famous doodles.

And be mindful of the fact that one of those pumpkins weighed nearly 600 kilograms!

From a Google blog post:

To celebrate Halloween this year, the doodle team wanted to capture that fascinating transformation that takes place when carving a pumpkin.

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. What you see is a time-lapse video of the approximately eight hours we spent carving.

Here is the making of that doodle:
