In tribute to President’s Day today, here’s a fascinating video of all the US presidents, from George Washington to Barack Obama.
A morphing technological wonder of all 44 presidents shown in chronological order and in under 4 minutes.
Summary of video:
Presidents of the United States morphed in sequence from George Washington to Barack Obama. Pictures of the Presidents were found by library and internet search. Images were edited in Photoshop Elements to make them all the same size. The faces were morphed from one to the next using FantaMorph. The images were put into Vegas Pro and faded from one to the next and the face morph overlaid and “cookie cuttered” out so that the backgrounds faded and the faces morphed simultaneously. The music is ‘Hooked on America’ performed by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.
Crank the volume.
