Today marks the 122nd Birthday of Charlie Chaplin, and in honor of the silent film star - Google has a short film as their 'Doodle' today (Doodle is the term Google uses to describe their Google name which on special holidays & events is represented in art).
The Google Blog describes today's fun short film "The simple, silent short film stars the entire Doodle team (with fellow doodler Mike Dutton sporting that famous mustache, hat and eyeliner) and was shot on location in Niles, Calif., the setting of several of Chaplin’s early classics including The Tramp. Niles is also home to our advisers for this doodle, the ever-helpful Niles Essanay Silent Film Museum."
You can read more about the making of this short, silent film and see some behind the scenes photos on the Google Blog for April 15, 2011.
