Morphing heads
Without software or time lapse

Flicking through a large set of company portraits, I was surprised with the differences in the shapes of heads and spacings of various features.

These portraits could be arranged in sequences; closely spaced eyes gradually changing to widely spaced eyes; short hair to long hair; low hair line to high hair line (bald?), and so on. With the same set of a few hundred photos, I think a reasonably long and amusing video could be made of company employees.

The same faces could be used several times, for different reasons.

I've never seen it done this way before, and I'm not talking about getting two faces and using software to morph between them.

       Facial variation might be too diverse to work with such a small sample. For instance what is the likelihood that you will find the next person in the sequence with slightly further apart eyes, slightly longer head, slightly higher eyebrows etc.

       //what is the likelihood that you will find the next person in the sequence// you just need a very focussed recruitment policy.

       Heh. "Don't hire him; his face doesn't fit".
