    Silly computer animation question

    I ended up with two pictures of my dog, with him in the same position, one with his mouth open and one closed. When I toggle back and forth, it looks like he is talking.

    Now, I want to string together, some combination of these two photos, in a video to make him talk. I envision trial and error and something like Pic's 1,1,2,2,2,1,2,1. . .

    There's some morphing programs

    for what you need. Google search and you may be able to find a free morphing program to use. That's all I can help you with. No wait, I heard your dog say something to the effect, " Man, where's my buddy at? Cann't seehim!". Just kidding. Try Google. Hope you find something and if you do, post it on the forum so we can see!!!

        You can use windows movie maker for this and put a sound track with it. It's pretty simple to learn if you haven't messed with it before. If you have XP or Vista, you should already have this installed.

          That's correct. I had forgotten all about

          windows movie maker. Stytooner's post is the best route to go. It's free and already on your computer if you have xp or vista. Sorry about the mislead...

                    You beat me to it...I did a quick frame animation in photoshop. Yours is much better though...

                      Warren,

                      That's fantastic. I laughed so hard my sides hurt.

                      I always suspected Marsh was a Southern French Poodle. His accent confirms it.

                      As soon as I can find my mic I will send you a sound file.

                      Thank you sooo much.

                      Steve
