The more-or-less morphing face illusion

The illusion comprises a morphing sequence between two faces. The observer has to fixate a dot superimposed on the morph. When the dot is moving, morphing can hardly be seen. However, when the dot suddenly stops, the morphing appears surprisingly strong. Subtle differences in, e.g., the shape of the eyes, the color of the skin, and even gender characteristics are 'blown-up' perceptually. Apparently, such differences between faces are easily overlooked when following a moving-dot, but are highly salient when our eyes rest at a single point on the morphing faces.

It's probably because I play video games, but this didn't work for me. I noticed no difference in the amount of morphing while focusing on the dot, no matter whether it was moving or stationary. I think my brain is accustomed to focusing on multiple targets while watching the background for movement for new potential targets.
