Hilarious Morph Projects

By Joanne C. Weaver

Want to be a hit at your next high school reunion? Need to add zing to those dry home movies? Wowing your audience is a snap when you use morphing software to give photos and movies a funny and memorable twist. Here are a few fun morphing projects that are easy to create with today's morphing software.

• Morph all your high school dance photos into a morph movie; show the evolution of your dating life as one date photo morphs into the next.
• Morph a close up of your own eye into the eye of a turtle, eye of a lab rat or, if you're a Rocky fan, the eye of a tiger. (whichever you relate to best).
• Feature a variety of morphed hairstyles on the face of a friend with a hair fixation.
• Morph an obnoxious pet into an unassuming stuffed animal.
• Morph a series of family or friend photographs, one after another. Don't get stuck on face morphs only, try body morphs too. (For tips on which photos work best, see Morphing How- To Guide .)
• Morph a picture of a surly teenager into an angelic baby photo.
• Transform a photo of your Honda into a Hummer.
• If your morphing software offers distortion morphing , create a growing Pinocchio nose on a photo of a real boy.
• Morph a photo of a person into a dog bone or chew toy. (For human-to-object morphing tips, see Types of Morphs .)
• Create an electronic birthday card with a mattering of morphed pictures from birthdays past.
• Morph the piles of paper on your desk into stacks of cash.
• If you're morphing software offers warping , morph a smile onto your cat.
• If you've got a mean streak, morph a pig snout and ears on an ex-boyfriend's photo or fangs and horns on an ex-girlfriend's picture.
• With video camera, video editing software, and several kids in costumes, create a mini-horror flick or fairy tale with kids morphing into monsters and princesses.
• Remember, you aren't limited to existing photos. If you don't have what you need to bring the morph to life, set the stage and take the photos or videos you need to make the morph work. In short, your imagination will be your only limit.
