Morphing away
I’ve just discovered a freeware software called Sqirlz Morph that is driving me crazy! I like to use the morph effect with series of still pictures because the animation that comes out is usually quite disturbing. I’m not talking of course of the traditional morphing effect (a human face that dissolves in a cat or, if you really hate your subject, in a pig/frog/spider etc) I’m talking about bracketing around with your camera and then putting together the photos in a kind of liquid perpetual fading that deforms every picture in a artistic (-ish) way. So I took my friend Davide’s portraits from the Webcamgrams project (yeah, he’s my favourite cavy) and I ended up with this creepy animation, which is a quite funny thing since Davide is the less creepy person I know.
