Manuel:
Here is one way to generate the frames, using a function (tr) that
generates linear combinations of two sets of points (start and end) that
are presumed to have the same length:
In[9]:=
tr[start_List, end_List, lambda_] :=
MapThread[(1 - lambda)*#1 + lambda*#2 & , {start, end}]
In[17]:=
(Show[Graphics[Polygon[tr[start, end, #1]]],
PlotRange -> {{-10, 10}, {-10, 10}}] & ) /@
Range[0, 1, 1/30]
