Frame by frame

Today I am working on the frame by frame animation bit. It is the moment where man and woman getting old very quickly (sort of time machine effects). I tried Color Key to remove the white background and it looks fine, will use for the sequence.




I have drawn 36 frames of that animation and made some tests (which you can find on the submitted DVD). It looked not exactly as I thought and it was too time consuming to get it right.
I showed result to Steve S. and he suggested to use morphing effect. Something like this:
I downloaded Morpheus software, but it did not had an option to render out HD quality. Also I looked at morphing in AfterEffects, but then I came up with different idea:

Instead of showing them getting old after we saw their pictures, we will see them old straight away. This will save both message and time.
