RE: GAUNTLET - AN IMPROVISATIONAL HORROR FILM
That's nice! Did you use some special filter for this twisting face effect? I'm curious how did you achieve it?

Thank you! I used a trick i learned from Andrew Kramer ( www.videocopilot.net ) many years ago. He explains how to do it in a tutorial called "demon face warp". Basically you use the motion tracker in after effects to stabilize the face of your subject. Then you precompose that footage, and use an expression to remove the visual effects of the stabilization. This somehow makes the "liquify" filter stick to the tracking data so that it follows along with the facial features.
Wow! Thank you for the detailed answer, it is a great trick, I'm glad you shared it:)
