Amazing Special Effects That Were Actually Made For Cheap
Lord of the Rings
Big Wizard Small Hobbit
To make Frodo and the other hobbits look tiny compared to everyone else in the Lord of the Rings, director Peter Jackson used forced perspective in most of their scenes. That means the camera was placed at such an angle that the hobbits, even though they were much further away, looked to be positioned right next to other actors.
This made it seem as if the hobbits were much smaller, even though they were simply further away. Special furniture and wagons were constructed to help sell the effect.
