Animating with Google Docs?

In light of Brandon's previous post about using the best piece of software for the job, I'd like to endorse that principle. It is generally a good idea to use software for what it is intended, but sometimes, there's an imaginative user out there who pushes the limits we all assumed were there.

With great resourcefulness, diligence, and downright cleverness, a team of three created The Most Awesome 450 Page Presentation Ever. It looks like a Flash animation, but in reality their piece is made up of hundreds of slides with meticulously arranged objects that they successively moved and transformed, slide by slide. I imagine that none of the suite's developers anticipated this sort of creative, subversive use of Google Docs. Check it out slide by slide by following the link above, or watch it in action right here.
