Sauron grenade-launcher

3 point warp - two on the barrel going up, one on the crown of his head going forwards to aim.
A couple of points on the gun sight to keep it steady.

Fantamorph trial

Looks a bit easier for multiple sequences, and putting them with others.
Not sure if that's 50 quid worth of easier though...

Flying car

Flying car; 120,15. Just two pictures.
Advanced, 10/90 on the fade

Flying car 2, same, no fixed boundaries.
Turbulence a little cleaner maybe, cornfield turns better

Water

Water mix 1 - pic turned 90' a few times

Water mix 2

Advanced mix, no delays, 3 and 93 on the warp to give a sense of changing direction without a static pause.

Little Egypt

Smaller, 120, mix 2, no fixed boundary, bit of a swirl round the windows using a few progressing morph points.

Naga

Not using control/morph points on limbs that cross the body.
Snake's body altered in PhotoStudio 5.5 using distort tools.

Gifs can have a transparent layer, so maybe I can overlay one morph animation [with a clear background] on top of an animated background morph; like a collage/photomontage of cycling animated objects?
I believe it's possible to work with multiple animated layers like this in Macromedia Flash [which I don't have].
If i can solve the problem of multiple animation layers for showing one animated morph on top of another animated morph using PS Elements 3 [which I have] or Toon Boom [which I'm thinking of getting] that would be cool.

The smaller Baron clip - mix 1 - is of most interest, perhaps.
Transitions from different poses of the same object rather than between different objects, and the different poses of that object in themselves made using several intermediate frames which mix two objects, rather than the original extreme objects.
