I think morphs are the best option in this case. Keep trying to work with morphs.

It's not impossibble.

If you don't understand something, FORCE it into your head with a hammer. Hit yourself a few times if it helps.

Seriously, that's the only thing that works with me when I'm confused. The solution is always obvious when you know it. Just keep that in mind.

It's not impossibble to do either.

I think the biggest problem with people first trying morph targets is in not understanding it only works with moving points of a mesh. If you try to rotate an object in the Edit screen (as opposed to Edit Point screen), the rotation is not morphed. It would be nice if the manual emphasized this point right from the get go in the morph targets section.
