The mole-centred version was a great idea, but all I can see is the mole!
The animation is brilliant - I wonder what a deepfake would be like if was made from different photos so the face looked different as the head turned. Probably shit.

I’m not really into deep fake stuff. I kind of enjoy making these by hand. For my Meryl Streep gif I was able to make it serious faces one way and smiling on the way back.

although having his age and appearance flip around so much made it hard to see them as a continuous animation, maybe if they were cut in sections where he had a beard or not and was old or young and the framerate slowed?
But then maybe not.
Well done anyway!

The best way to view them is when you can control the speed yourself. I wish there was a way I could share them like that. This speed was the best compromise for me between having animation that works and having glimpses of recognizable posters. A lot of people find them too hard to watch though. Focusing on the eyes helps.

Instead of a hard cut? It might be difficult at the speed you've used but it would be interesting to see if it made it easier to watch.

It’s been a while so I can’t remember why it didn’t work. Maybe I’ll try again next time. Someone in a reply to a widely shared uncredited tweet of my Nicolas Cage gif said it helped to blink rapidly while watching
