Hey Joe,
Why not put yourself into Andrew McRae's body. That should make you feel young and stupid again and you could turn him into a decent young whippersnapper. The Evans thing is a bit much for any of us to cope with.

Yes, Joe's only way to truly improve his looks is to try to look more like me. I guess imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

Posted by Evans A Criswell (Member # 381) on 06-08-2001, 11:04 AM:

What's funny is even when Joe tries to look like me, he's very scary looking -- make that extremely scary looking. I'm definitely a much prettier guy than he is.

To sort of borrow a line from Shrek: I wonder if Joe is trying to compensate for something.

Perhaps you should post pictures of Joe in all his many forms in the Picture section.

There will be a forum thread with all of my pics one of these days.

Evans, I could only TRY to be you. I could never be the actual Evans C Criswell! (I know your middle initial is "A" but I am calling you "C" since it just flows better!)

Hi Mark!

Joe,
I'm honored to be you. Now I am instantly transformed into an Apple computer expert. The body morph kinda look like a cross between Mark Redifer and Joe Gulbrandsen though.

I was wondering how long it would be before Joe tried to look like Brad's picture. So Joe, are you using Photoshop, or do you have some other software that helps you do the morphing?

Posted by Bob Maar (Member # 763) on 06-13-2001, 12:33 PM:

Just suppose Joe is not Joe at all. Notice how his picture keeps changing (or Morphing)
to make him look like someone he is not.

It's time to see him Morph into a female body. Change his name to Josephine. Put on a dress and a bonnet.

Could it be possible that he has always been a she?

Just a guess.

Posted by Joe Redifer (Member # 3) on 06-13-2001, 01:11 PM:

Hey Bob, must you always spoil the surprise?

Actually, Evans, no "morphing" software techniques are involved. All pictures are 100% me. I just have da mad skillz dats all!

Posted by Evans A Criswell (Member # 381) on 06-13-2001, 01:49 PM:

OK, Joe, do Bab Maar. That one would be very easy.

Is anyone keeping track of Joe's Morphs? I mean, are his pics being archived? Wouldn't it be great if there was a slide show of all of his morphs? Can this be done? Why am I asking so many questions? Will someone answer me? Hello, is there anybody out there? Please, answer me?

I wish Gary Stanley was on the forum so I could make fun of him. In Pytlak's uncropped picture Gary is to his left and looks like he is about to keel over. Oh the fun I could have with that. Check it out in the Picture Warehouse under the first set of ShoWest pictures (second page, I believe).

Posted by Bob Maar (Member # 763) on 06-21-2001, 01:40 PM:

Michael and Evans,

Just wanted you to know that I may not have the longest hair on my head.

However in my picture I am wearing a jacket, which is good because the hair under my arms is 36" long. In addition, my chest hairs are braided and wrapped around my mid section giving me a slight ponch around the waist. If I were to extend them they would measure 6 feet in length. You fellows had better never go skinny dipping with me.

This time, he didn't do as good of a job emulating the appearance of the person he was trying to emualte (that is, if he was trying to create a "Bobby Henderson" type of photo). I'm disappointed, Joe. Actually, Joe, you should do a better job on that one. I really like the "Bobby Henderson" photo with the cool background. I was amazed that he said it was from a storm rather than being a cool Photoshop-done effect.

Posted by Evans A Criswell (Member # 381) on 06-26-2001, 04:26 PM:

Oh, OK. I admit that's a much better match.

I guess I've seen Bobby Henderson's picture much more and paid more attention to it than Tom Kroening's. That background in Bobby's picture has strange effects on me.

And, I haven't taken the "Automatic Pattern Recognition" (CS642) course here at UAH yet. Maybe if I had, I wouldn't have made that error.

Joe, you must do Bobby Henderson next (or maybe the new Michael Brown).

Posted by Bruce McGee (Member # 131) on 06-26-2001, 05:59 PM:

I think that all of you guys have totally lost it.

If you dont know what you have lost, I wager that you never had it.

This coming from a guy that used to have 22" long hair... until it started falling out, and turning gray. I didn't want to be a bald hippie with a chrome dome with gray fringe around the sides.

Of course, my FG drinking problem has not helped at all, either.

Keep it up, Joe! I'm waiting for the "best-of" voting.

Posted by Joe Redifer (Member # 3) on 06-26-2001, 06:49 PM:

Evans, I did do the new Michael Brown. A picture of me pointing my finger at the camera was up for a couple of days

I'd like to try Bobby. The curly hair would be an immense challenge. I'd have to erase ALL of my hair and draw the new hair. Or maybe I'll just get a perm. I would have done Bruce McGee long ago if I had a Holmes or whatever the hell that is to stand by. Unfortunately, I take all of the pictures myself with the camera on timer. Doesn't give me enough time to get in the EXACT position I need to be in

Posted by Bruce McGee (Member # 131) on 06-26-2001, 08:16 PM:

That thing in the image with me is an Eiki 16mm toy. I may need to upgrade and do a new image with the Holmes.

As for the drinking problem.....

I'm not really a fan of GIFs in any way, shape or form. They are limited to 256 colors and that just sucks. Flash is better. But then again I really don't want to annoy anybody with looping animation of ANY kind. It just looks amateur-ish. At least with Flash I can turn off the looping when I design it. GIFs loop forever unless the user does not allow looping.

I was there when you asked Brad about GIFs. Even with Imageready, GIFs are still limited to 256 colors. However your advice about asking Brad about technical stuff before I attempt anything has fallen on deaf ears. We both agree that it's OK if the site crashes when we try something new

Posted by Bobby Henderson (Member # 840) on 07-03-2001, 07:33 PM:

Oh my God. Hehe, Joe, that is one funny morph.

Sorry about the masking challenge. Actually, my hair is not really that curly. I think it is just the combination of the hair gel and the "extract" background feature in Adobe Photoshop that made it look a little more rough (and curly) than it realy is.

If anyone wants to see something really bizarre, I can send Brad my "Marty Feldman" tribute photo.

Posted by Gordon Hedges III (Member # 863) on 07-03-2001, 08:11 PM:

That would be neat.

And maybe we can see Joe morph that one.

If you adjust how your palette indexes colors, you can get decent results on a photo with a narrow range of colors. Here's your original jpeg file ...

And here's a gif indexed to 256 perceptual colors with no dithering.

You lose some of your colors when animating if the frames don't have a very close color range. But then, you wouldn't be able to have any fun.

This one stops animating after 8 loops. Hit refresh to run it again.

I get the strange feeling my days are numbered ...

Also, how about taking a crack at this?

Posted by Joe Redifer (Member # 3) on 07-04-2001, 01:06 AM:

Randy,

It's funny how everything changes except the background and the hair. I wonder what the morph between Mark G and my pic of him would look like? Or Pytlak? Oh man.

Adam,

I had to go into PREFERENCES and turn "Animate GIFs" back on just to see that. Some pics do better with 256 colors than others. The "Bobby" pic really doesn't have many colors. But the "Andrew" has more as do a few others. Either way I prefer JPEG and there really is no reason to use GIFs. The only reason to use a GIF is transparency like the "Film-Tech Forums" graphic I created at the top of the page and the emoticons. But for photographs? Nah.

Your days are definitely numbered. Why? I dunno. Just for fun.

Posted by Randy Stankey (Member # 64) on 07-04-2001, 01:21 AM:

I didn't put any points on the background or the hair. The only points I made were on the face and body. Since they are so similar, that's why they didn't change much.

Bring on the pics! We'll make one big, long movie of Joe morphing into everybody if you want!

I'll be sending you the program I used in a minute. The Stuffit archive is only 44K before BinHexing.

Posted by Joe Redifer (Member # 3) on 07-04-2001, 04:30 PM:

The problem with morphing through all of them is that I'm in a different position in every pic. Some of them would end up looking like weird warping dissolves. There are a few more that I want to do before I post all of my forum picture in one place for everyone to make fun of.

Greg... the morph program is more of a "stretch and dissolve" program, not a true morph program. I've created a few morphs with about 50 different targets each, and it's still pretty funky!

Marty Feldman was a teriffic character actor who past away some years ago. He could do amazing things with his eyes. I believe he was in some of the Monty Python films.

Bob,

For the younger set....the best film to use as an example is

_Young Frankenstein_

Marty played the perfect I-Gore.

There was some Universal film he played in where they used the old Universal logo with the letters going around the planet...Marty would come on stage and take the letters off one at a time with a look at the audience of "see what I have to do" or something.

"Young Frankenstein" definitely had one of Marty Feldman's funniest performances. The gag with the skulls on the shelves showing how long they have been dead, such as 10 years dead, 1 year dead, and then him poking his head into the slot "recently dead" was a riot. He was really funny in Mel Brooks' "Silent Movie."

I should have added, I did this weird photo in reaction to the Avs nerve racking victory. Peter Forsberg got hit so hard in a previous playoff round against the L.A. Kings that his spleen was ruptured. Friends were giving me hell about that (particularly since I have a NHL regulation Peter Forsberg jersey). Everybody thought that was it for the Avs then, but they rolled on through the semi-finals and into the Cup finals against the favored New Jersey Devils. The Avs came back against some serious odds with guys Joe Sakic, Ray Bourque and 3-time Conn/Smythe trophy winner Patrick Roy. Having to win the last two games in a row just made me nervous as hell. I was really happy to see them win.

Marty Feldman was simply amazing.

As well as his comedy acting and unique singing voice he wrote some of the best radio comedy shows of the 1960's such as Round The Horne.

Take a look at his official website http://www.cmgww.com/stars/feldman/links.html

The way the Pat& Mike routine used to go in the US between TV & radio engineers was:

"You know what radio is, don't you? Broken TV."

"Television gives you cancer."

The two groups did not mix well.

I *really* enjoyed Feldman's "The Last Remake of Beau Geste".
It looked good in the theater, too.

HOLY SNIKEYS...it's the ever morphing Joe picture!!! Whatever you do, don't hit that refresh button.

BTW...Hey Brad, is that the Film-Guard that made you look so young?

Yeah, Brad, was your current picture taken 10 years ago?

Posted by Michael Brown (Member # 890) on 07-30-2001, 12:05 PM:

Very Nice

Posted by Brad Miller (Member # 2) on 07-30-2001, 03:13 PM:

Wow, I'm surprised anyone noticed that reload trick so fast. All I can say is beware of what Joe will do next. But even more importantly, those of you who haven't yet sent in your picture, beware of what Joe will do next! Send in your picture quick.

My current picture was taken last night with me holding the camera with my left hand (and a slight crop utilized for composition). No, the youthful appearance is not the FilmGuard at work, that's something else I've been working on. I'm 31 and counting.

We're all young at heart, if not appearance.

Posted by Bruce McGee (Member # 131) on 07-30-2001, 06:51 PM:

Yikes, Brad! You look like a kid!! Are you sure that you are not 12? :O

Maybe I should smear FG on my face. Maybe it would fill the cracks. No, I cant do that. FG costs more than the concrete mix that I use now.

Michael Brown: your new image makes you look like you belong in a Church!

I need to come up with something new, myself. Comments? Be cruel!

Joe,

You must go immediately to your nearest Schlockbuter Video store and rent all Marty Feldman's movies. He was one of a kind...

Yes, even Silent Movie...

John

Igor (Marty Feldman): "What hump?"

Marty Feldman is great in Young Frankenstein, but my favorite line from the movie is:

Frankenstein (looking at huge castle doors): "What knockers!!"

Inga (embarassed): "Thank you, Doctor."

--------

And of course the scene where Igor won't let Frankenstein out of the room after he locks himself in with the monster. Classic!

Sorry Guy's I can't get this to transfer

Posted by Bobby Henderson (Member # 840) on 08-22-2002, 12:32 AM:

The Weenie Man and Josh Jones also have changing pictures. Mine typically doesn't change. But I did find out I have an icon.

Wow.

This is a picture of Joe's 4-dimensional counterpart (actually only a 3-dimensional cross-section (if this makes no sense to you, you must read the book "The Boy Who Reversed Himself" by William Sleator. Actually, strike everything from the beginning of this parenthasis to the first comma(this poster also recommends reading "Into the Dream" and "House of Stairs"))
