Thanks Tom,
Thats a creative idea, but I’m not sure it will work. Unless the slider has some special transition effect to hide it, wont it just show one image moving off to the side and the next image sliding in? i.e., even if they have the same frame it will be clear its just different images with the same frame.
What I had in mind was using a mask to create a shape, then giving that shape animated color and texture. The original slider photos may not even be recognizable, only providing the moving colors.
