How do I make the "demon face warp" effect in Apple Motion?

I have a project where the well-known "demon face warp" effect would be ideal. I understand that it's quite doable with After Effects. But since I don't own After Effects, I thought I might see how to do it with Apple Motion.

My footage is from a Sony PMW EX-1. It's footage of a blonde actress in the woods. I'd like to demonize her pretty face.

(I have FCP 6 and Motion 3.)

Do any of you know of a good tutorial on this subject? Or can any of you suggest how I can explore this endeavor on my own using Apple Motion?

thanks,

Dr. PieArson,

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I can provide you with a picture of this effect. If you click on this link, you'll see a picture and then a video tutorial on how to accomplish the "demon face" in After Effects.

I've heard it's possible in Motion; I just need to know an efficient method for it.

Look at the motion tracking tutorials at http://motionsmarts.com - then use the Distortion/Poke or Black Hole along with other Color Correction and masks to get your demon look...
