Rodney Pike Caricature Morph 2013

This is a morphing video I started working on two years ago and never finished. The project was put together with Abrosoft FantaMorph. It features some of my photo manipulations and caricatures cropped for the face morphing most of which were completed prior to 2012. I hope you enjoy!

Musical Credit: The background music is called "Lil Indigo" by Rock Grooves Volume-13.

Limited Offer - Custom Caricature Profile Pic Only $50.00 US

I have had many people interested in a caricatured profile pic by me but since I do mainly print work and require hi res images, the price is a bit out of some folks' range. I'm offering a low res profile pic for only 50 bucks. I will accept the first ten $50.00 PayPal payments and guarantee delivery within 30 days or money back. This will be a trial to see if I can maintain the pace and price. If so, I will extend the offer. For now, it's first come first serve!! The PayPal address is RodneyWPike@gmail.com.

Source image recommendations:

• Good quality, clear, sharp images. (the larger the better) 
• Shoot head-shots in early morning indirect light for best results. (several)
• The pose shouldn't be straight ahead. 3/4 angled poses work much better.
• Expression: Ham it up. Goofy pictures make great caricatures.
• Background: I usually recommend something that relates to you like a hobby or work, etc.
