Morph effect?

[Volver24P]

Does anyone remember any films where a character will actually "morph" into another person? (Most commonly, the screen only shows a shot of the face as this happens)

How is this done? What is needed to be done while shooting and in post?

For that shot, you'd just shoot both actors in front of the same background and then morph one into the other. When morphing was big about ten years ago there were specialised programs for it, I presume most effects programs can do it today.

"The Matrix", "X-men" (specifically Mystique), and countless other movies have this effect featured.
