Animation Techniques - Character Morphing

The video (above) demonstrates the technique used to morph a simple shape into a character, before further morphing the character into another of a different appearance. The resulting video was created during an animation tutorial, where we worked in groups, on 07/11/2012. My group's image is on the right.
