If you'd like to have a go at this fun Finger Tip, it's very easy!

Decide whose face you want to alter. You'll need a photograph of them looking straight at the camera, and ideally with not too much hair covering their forehead. Stick the picture onto card, cover it with sticky back plastic and cut it out.
Look through magazines and newspapers for other photographs of people looking straight ahead.

Cut out any pairs of eyes, mouths, noses and any other interesting features that take your fancy.

Remember to check with the owners of the magazines and newspapers before you get cracking with the scissors!
That's all there is to it!

It's up to you to rearrange the face exactly how you wish!
You can take this one stage further by setting up a video camera.

If you've got a tripod, stand the camera on that and point it at the wall. Stick the face that you're going to change in shot, and you can easily make an animation by putting the camera in and out of record between each change!
If you've got access to a computer, depending what software you've got, you might be able to replace, stretch and distort features. Paint programs usually have some good features.

The program we showed in the studio - the one that enables you to change hairstyles, eyes and so on - is called Scansoft Super Goo and is available for PC and Mac.
