10 most interesting Google search on animation and our professional answers
What is the best compass for the global mood these days? Just one word: Google. Yes, what people google, and how many times is probably the best answer for what is trending, therefore interesting for people. We’re all experiencing curiosity. That’s why we search for things online more than ever. Besides, the amount of information is getting only fatter: you’ll never stop not knowing something and wanting to change that.
Google is almost the internet itself, or, at least, its main device and embodiment.
Luckily, google provides anyone interested in the bigger picture with detailed statistics on the subject: the country, the number of searches, the age. This is a bird’s eye view of ourselves: one of the modern ways to reflect on things.
We set ourselves quite a task: to find the 10 most interesting Google searches for animation and discuss it with you.
“It comes as no surprise that Google is the most visited website. To put a number on it, Google was visited 89.3 billion times in the past month alone (Similarweb, 2022).”
Google and animation
“The latest data shows that Google processes over 99,000 searches every single second (Internet Live Stats, 2022). This makes more than 8.5 billion searches a day (Internet Live Stats, 2022).?
Extremely interesting quotes and statistics, but it gets us even more curious about another thing: how many times do people Google animation-related topics during one second and among 99,000 searches?
Well, let’s get to the point. Google itself likes to play with animation. For example, Google has taken part in the massive popularity of SS Rajamouli’s directorial RRR and created animation for all the fans of the movie. For a while, once a user searches RRR on Google there will be a horse and a motorbike crawling on the screen.
Besides, Google used dozens of animated videos in its campaigns. To present a new VR platform “Daydream” they walk you into the Natural History museum from the point of view of VR. When Google Street View first arrived, Google used Photography based stop motion that literally showed the streets and mapped a view.
Google is so in love with animation, that they even offered a way of creating the animation:
When Google launched its “Project Sunroof”, it… released an animated commercial video. Google took the initiative to integrate solar power generation estimates with Google Maps to tell homeowners how much they could save if they switched from traditional electricity to solar power. The concept is quite complex, and it requires an explanation.
Their animated video tells the story with ease, showing exactly how people benefit from the program, and how it works. Even those who are outside of the U.S. could understand the value of the program and enjoy the video.
So, what about Google earth studio?
“Google Earth Studio is a browser-based animation tool for Google Earth’s 3D and satellite imagery.
Don’t tell us that Google doesn’t love animation!
Also, there are time series animations of Earth observation imagery.
“MODIS is a moderate resolution satellite imaging system and NDVI is a common reflectance-based vegetation index. The Earth Engine Data Catalog provides NDVI as a precalculated dataset for convenience. In the above animation, NDVI is mapped to a color gradient from tan to dark green representing low to high photosynthetic capacity (low to high vegetation cover/density/productivity). The tide-like latitudinal shift in vegetation is associated with the sun’s declination moving between 23.5° north and 23.5° south, relative to the equator, throughout the year. See Nicholson, 2019 for more information on this phenomenon. Similar seasonal patterns of vegetation productivity are found around the world at both small and large scales.”
What do people google about animation?
Why do adults love animation?
We don’t know if this question arises from the general curiosity of a person that wonders why animation is so appealing to him or her. It is impossible to believe that anyone now would think that animation is somehow for kids only. This line has been crossed a long time ago, and for its creative power, originality and a great deal of “adult” themes animation has become equally for grownups.
Is animation better than a live video?
Well, there are many parameters that make animation more efficient and affordable. You have to spend a few times more money on a real-life shoot than on an animated video. There is also the thing with remaking: in a video you just have to start all over. In animation, it is possible to remake it with ease.
Besides, the best choice often depends on your goals and… well, budget.
Who is the best animator in history?
Of course, many articles would say that Walt Disney or some other famous figure was the best. We have to disagree.
Animation has sheltered many extremely talented people, but all of them are rather invested in the common knowledge that everyone uses now one way or another. The question is unlikely to have a direct answer. No one can really measure the impact, skills, or particular gifts among animators without stumbling upon famous people.
Can I create an animated video in one day?
In an animation studio, it takes from a few weeks to months if we want to deliver a proper video. Depending on many parameters it could take longer. If you don’t know where to start or how to begin, you may create something very chaotic.
However, if you are still challenging yourself to create a video in a day, we can give you a hint.
Templates are a sure way to get the ball rolling in the world of animation. Using templates is lightning fast and could have your finished product done in a matter of minutes instead of hours. You could make effective animation videos without studying the ins and outs of a platform. They are meant to be both fast and easy.
Besides, there are excellent animation makers that are equipped with all of the tools you need to get your animation video completed in 24 hours. Bring any concept to life and personalize it with colors, custom text, and stunning visuals. Not to mention, animation makers let you create videos in minutes even with a tight budget.
Just like that.

Where animation is most used?
The biggest use for animation is for…. No, not for brands. For entertainment. Animation is used on the TV – and it was in the first place. Your phone couldn’t be so catching without animation. Cinematography, advertising, and many more industries are impossible without animation these days.? Films like Shrek and Finding Nemo gained a massive profits from people watching the film. But first thing first: animation is mostly used for entertainment.
How to animate my report?
Well, we can do that. And we also can make a video out of it. However, if you have a designer in your team he/she can probably use some tools to create looping GIF animation based on the web acquisition report within Google Analytics. We animate more information, like SEO report templates or any other report, so you might really need some help here. Try this.
Where are the most expensive animation studios and are they really worth their price?
This is an extremely useful and interesting request. We were also interested in this topic and our team did extensive research on the subject. What did we learn?
First of all, there are many studios all over the world that will communicate with you properly and give you the right advice on every single stage. They are worth their prices. But there are also many rather weird things in the whole business, like refusing to discuss with the clients their ideas. Anyway, let’s take a look at what we’ve got.
United Kingdom – the most expensive location in terms of “price for an animated video”. That is hardly surprising considering that the UK has always been on top of prices when it comes to video production.
Most of the studios in our research happened to be located in London, however, there are a few from Edinburgh, Surrey and small towns.
The range of prices: is from 750$ to 13 400$. Between these numbers, you can request a video for 2 670, 4500 and 6000 $ – these are the most popular prices.
The U.S. – the studios from the New World are beating up the rest of the world with their prices because no one would charge you 60 000$ for a single short video. That is true! We stumbled upon this studio that wanted background music at the same price as the entire video.
The range of prices: 2,800 to 85 000$. Between these numbers, you can request a video for 5 000, 10 000, 15 000 and 33 000$ – these are the most popular prices.
Eastern Europe or SIC – here you can find plenty of studios that are concentrated entirely on animation. It is an extremely interesting thing, we will get back to it later.
The range of prices: 390 to 5500 $.? Between these numbers, you can request a video for 2500, 3500 and 4000$ – these are the most popular prices.
Asia – the cheapest region where you can request an average-quality video. Lately, the studios from India and Malaysia have become better and the level of their services has increased over time.
The range of prices: 200 to 7600$. Between these numbers, you can request a video for 2000, 3200 and 4000$ – these are the most popular prices.
Do animators still use the 12 principles of animation?
Yes, they do. And no, they don’t.
Walt Disney called the animators in his team the “Nine Old Men.” They were the animators that created Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, etc. In other words, they created the classic we all know and refer to.
Two of these animators, Ollie Johnston and Frank Thomas, created the basics of drawing animation: 12 principles of animation, which appeared in their book The Illusion of Life: Disney Animation in 1981. However, the principles themselves were created much earlier.
But times have changed. Today we barely use drawing animation, only if we are about to experiment. There are more and more tools to use, and since the technology is getting more sophisticated and more complex, the principles of animation become one layer deeper in what we do.
What type of animation is in Spider-Verse?
We were too amazed by this wonderful animated movie. Its fresh animation style sets it apart from not only other releases that came out during the year but distinguishes it from all the Spiderman cartoons that have been created before.
A.O. Scott, in his review for The Times wrote that “the characters feel liberated by animation, and the audience will, too.” Couldn’t agree more.
First of all, the creators eliminated motion blur. As you might notice in live action, there are movements so fast the images just got this blurring anyway. They used some ideas from hand-drawn techniques and stepped up from the traditional techniques animators have been using.
As Chris Muller put it: “We looked at a lot of reference material and a lot of animators studied themselves in mirrors to figure out how a kid like Miles would behave at that moment. How can we make his movements specific to him instead of doing a standard take?”
To tell you the truth, this is the sort of animation any studio would want to deliver. Not this exact outcome, but rather a unique combination of features that is hard to achieve even once in a while.
How to create an explainer video?
Well, you don’t have to create anything, just contact us ?? We will do the rest: help you to find the right theme, discuss the script with you, and deliver the result you need. Of course, some tools can help you create it all by yourself.
But we recommend working with a professional animation studio, because they will help with appropriate voice-over show the option you don’t know, and, finally, professional animators will deliver the results you can’t achieve all by yourself.
Summary
We wanted to discuss these questions with you, but if you have anything left, please, don’t hesitate to write in the comments. We will answer this in one of the other articles.
As you see there are lots of different aspects of animation that people want to cover. Hopefully, our answers were informative enough for you.
That’s it!
