Cartoon Bulging Eyes

[pegasus928]

Hi

I have been using VS for about the past 5 years now, and have used it mainly for basic DVD creating, music videos compiling favourite bits from our holidays - that sort of thing.
A friend of mine has asked me to edit some footage he has taken of him and his work colleagues and turn it into a safety video. No problem so far as I think I can find my way around VS11 well enough to do that. But he has asked for a couple of things that I have never done before and - to be honest - don't know if they are possible with my version. One of these things is to simulate one of the 'actors' eyes bulging out of his head and mouth falling open - as they do in the cartoons when the character sees something surprising.
I figured it would be a case of finding maybe a giff with that effect and overlaying it on the actors face - but not sure if that is the easiest way to go or not.
Has anyone ever done anything similar? Is it even possible?
Any advice greatly appreciated
Kenny

I have done something similar, but its very time consuming. However the effect was done us PS cs4. You will need to liquify each frame in animation. After you import your footage back in VS.

For bulging eyes you could use two fish-eye FXs, one for each eye. I like the one that NewBlueFX has with their Video Essentials IV collection. Don't know what to use for the tongue.
