Having received 12K+ views in a week’s time [UPDATE: 3+ MILLION VIEWS ON YOUTUBE], it’s delivered with inventive uses of morphing, sound sync and humour, and shows how Morpheus can serve as a cool tool in the arsenal of music video production.

“Women in Art” Huge YouTube Hit

Filed under: Animations,Experiments,In the News,Morphs — animaniac

Women in ArtThere’s a beautiful, in-depth and inspiring new video on YouTube called Women in Art that morphs between an inspiring series of portraits of women in western art from a Byzantine fresco through Impressionism and Picasso. This video has received over a million user views in about a month since its posting. While we’re not 100% sure it was created using Morpheus, it’s sure looks that way, and we believe it well worth pointing to as yet another excellent use of this technology. There’s a lot of passion, patience and art appreciation in this video, which can easily be said to be a work of art itself. Take a look here.

Portrait of a Lady

Filed under: Experiments,Morphs,Photography — animaniac

Here’s a lovely tribute to art imitating life, and then still more art giving the imitation still more life (but not more still life). Did you get that? Well, maybe you can ask your classmates for notes. Anyway, we choose the classic title of a classic novel for the title of this classic piece, but it is also known to the author andreysue2 as “Blue Sunday No Flash.”

The Original G

Filed under: Animations,Celebrities,Morphs — animaniac

There’s a little tough guy in all of us, huh? And way before “G” hit MTV, there was the one and only Al C. Yo, don’t forget to pay your taxes, all you heavies out there, ’cause that’s how they got him in the end! Thanks for sending this in, Jmac945.

Gothic Mood Change

Filed under: Animations,Morphs,Strange — animaniac

Thanks to Morpheus user queenb****3769 (are there that many?) for sending this one in. Interestingly enough, there is actually some gothic architecture here – in the romantic moonlit backdrop, complete with tiny bats (of course) – before she dons her high heels and beams down to the red underworld hotel.

the photo album of the future

Filed under: Animations,Experiments,Family,Morphs — animaniac

alyssaMorpheus user and YouTube member thomastittle sent us a nice note pointing to his brilliant, remarkable and – yes – enchanting animation of “Alyssa.” You can view the video here. Complete with soundtrack, this is a cinematic, compelling, cleverly-paced use of Morpheus to tell the story of a child’s growth. It exudes all the love of a caring parent, and practically creates a new medium – the photo album of the future. Thanks thomastittle!

Foxy Lady Cartoon Kiss

Filed under: Animations,Anime,Experiments,Morphs — animaniac

It’s nice when a short animation can portray a small action inside the morph, adding motion and narrative to the mix. This submission does that with style, going from the photographic to the cartoon world and sending the viewer a kiss in the process.

Psychedelic Star Child

Filed under: Animations,Experiments,Morphs,Strange — animaniac

Like a doll come to life in a Stephen King story, or an instantaneous snapshot across the room at the merry prankster’s midnight party, you see her eyes move toward you as she perceives your gaze and the color shift while all else remains the same. Killer concept and execution on this strobe effect morph. We like the butterflies and the sig too.

The Larry Transformer

Filed under: Animations,Experiments,Morphs — animaniac

This morphin’ machine will take larrys and other intimidating mugs and turn ‘em into indestructible armor plated robots that run amok in all the playgrounds of the nation. Also useful for creating garden sculptures to keep the crows out & scare the neighbors…

Turn Yourself Into a Star

Filed under: Animations,Celebrities,Morphs — animaniac

Pretty self-explanatory – of course it helps if you look a whole lot like the star to begin with. Unlike Being John Malkovich, where you could only be Malkovich, with Morpheus you can be(come) anyone…

Red Pandamonium

Love the action on the ears! There is a certain family resemblance… Very nicely done, great dynamic feel to this morph. It also helps clear up that age-old question: “Can red pandas touch their tongue to their nose?”

My Toy Dog Beat up Your Pit Bull

Filed under: Animals,Morphs — animaniac

Great work here with the precise layout of dots to get a very centered, symmetrical and dynamic morph. Revenge of the nerd dogs! We also like the subtle shades of gray in the two photos used, adding a further sophistication to the animation.

I Must Have the Wrong Number

Filed under: Experiments,Morphs,Strange — animaniac

Odd how the geometry of a room can feel suddenly yanked out from under you, like a proverbial carpet or a tablecloth at a fine dinner. What is the relation of these two women? Guess what, we have no idea either. It’s like “You know, I was just minding my own business, waiting for Bela Lugosi to come by, when suddenly it all changed and I was blond and on the phone — plus the house had changed.” We think David Lynch might enjoy this one; unfortunately that might also mean that not everyone will. Well, we have morphs and animations for all tastes. Sorry for the hiatus, but we’re BAAAACCKKK!

Imagine all the morphin’ people…

Filed under: Animations,Celebrities,Morphs — animaniac

We think that everyone has a rock star inside of them, just waiting break out of the obscurity of the day job. Sometimes all it requires is just the right pair of glasses, or a killer animation idea.
