Five different versions of this video were distributed in three different methods. The first video released was a 30-second spot that was played before feature films in movie theaters in the greater Portland area. The second was the full-length web version released on Google's official blog and then featured on Mashable and lifehacker. The third was a series of three, 30-second commercials designed to play during program breaks on Hulu.

ANIMATOR'S COMMENTARY
Yes, this is the kind of review I imagine Justin Bieber to post.
Zoolander reference. Anyone get it?
There is always a lot of drawing in a Google video, but the best part is coming up with fake business names.
I'm as surprised as you are to see this in the final cut.
Sometimes you have to draw from what you know.
My favorite part of this entire project was drawing the tan lines on our friend to the right.
I almost added "Nautical-themed Pashmina Afghan" to the list, but it's the beach, not "A boat".
