What is Morphing?
  • Morphing is a special effect in animations that
    change one image into another form using a
    seamless transition.
  • It is used to portray one person turning into
    another through technological means or as part of
    a fantasy.
  • Traditionally such a depiction would be achieved
    through cross-fading techniques in a movie.

Digital Morphing
  • In the early 1990s computer techniques often
    produced more convincing results began to be used
    widely.
  • These involved warping one image at the same time
    that it faded into another by marking
    corresponding points and vectors on "before" and
    "after" images used in the morph.

6
  • Example One would morph one face into another by
    key points marking on the first face, such as a
    shape of nose or location of an eye, and mark
    where these same points existed on the second
    face.
  • The computer warps the first face to have the
    shape of the second face at the same time that it
    faded the two faces.

Techniques of Digital Morphing
  • Digital Morphing programs can automatically morph
    image that corresponds closely enough with
    instruction from the user.
  • Digital Morphing technique used to create the
    convincing slow-motion effects where none existed
    in real film or video footage by morphing between
    every frame using optical flow technology.

8
  • Digital Morphing also appeared as a transition
    technique between one scene and another in
    television shows, even if two images contents are
    completely unrelated.
  • In this case, the algorithm attempts to find
    corresponding points between the images and
    distort one into another as they crossfade.

9
  • Digital Morphing is used heavily today whereas
    the effect was initially a creation, morphing
    special effects are most often designed to be
    seamless and invisible to eye.

10
  • Use for morphing effects is modern digital font
    design. Using morphing technology a designer can
    create an intermediate between two styles.
  • Example generating a semibold font by
    compromising between a bold and regular style, or
    extend a trend to create an ultra-bold or
    ultra-light.
  • Font design studios commonly use the technique.
