Morphing has a place of honor up there with the lens-flare filter, but I think it works in this video. There’s more morph than portrait time, but that ties the video together. And, bear in mind that this isn’t exactly representative of all female portraiture throughout the years. I think the selection bias fell heavily on the side of morph-friendly look-alikes. For example, he could have picked works that best represented common themes present in the depiction of woman for that particular period. Either way, a monotone string of masterfully painted pin-ups works too.

ok. here’s something very, very different. I made an incredibly low-tech super-messy animation just to give it a try. It’s done in the animators medium of choice, vine charcoal! And, I rerendered each frame to make it extra-jumpy!
