u/niero_d20 7d ago

Big is not used as an insult in this gif. It's a reference to a character who is smitten with a tall, physically imposing woman who is one of the best fighters in the book series on the grounds of how much of a badass she is. He just hadn't learned her name yet. It was cute, they were both hella awkward.

I dont think you can really say that.. she hated Jamie until they were trapped together snd she started to see his kind side, he was nice to her and she was infatuated with that, everyone treated her coarsely, like the giant woman she was. But Jamie treated her like a woman. There is nothing to say tormund wouldnt and couldn't have also gotten her attention and love in a similar sense.

I think they did a ton of forced perspective. Some of it was probably double shots like you suggest, though.

You can’t forced perspective something to look smaller AND be directly in front of the thing it’s supposed to be smaller than

They cut holes in the bodies of Mortensen, McKellan, Bloom, and Bean, perfectly in the shape of the Hobbit actors, and then had them stand closer to the camera.

They use other tricks as well. There's a video showing how they did this in Frodo's house with Gandalf. They put a lot of work into it. I wouldn't be surprised if they used some similar tricks for this scene.

u/Aduialion 8d ago

The hobbits and dwarf are standing on lower platforms, and all the other actors except Viggo Mortensen are standing on a higher platform. VM is of the DĂșnedain, the men of the west, a race of men know for their physical stature and being long lived.

113

u/ShouldersofGiants100 8d ago

They shot the dwarf and hobbits seperately from the others, then shrunk the former and put the two together.

It was actually noted that John Rhys Davies being tall (6'1) compared to any of the hobbit actors made this process easier, because he was actually about as tall proportionally as a dwarf should be to hobbits and so they didn't need to do three groups.

6

u/anarchetype 7d ago

It's honestly hilarious how people aren't realizing this, between people thinking that forced perspective would make someone standing closer to the camera appear smaller and those who think standing on an apple crate makes you appear 3x as large in body mass.

It's a composite shot, obviously.

In shots like this it's green screen. Gimli and the hobbits were shot separately in front of green screens and digitally inserted into the shot with the rest of the fellowship.

44

u/eidetic 8d ago

Yeah, forced perspective wouldn't work with the shorter and smaller hobbits standing in front of the taller/larger characters.

They did do some crazy forced perspective shots in the LOTR and Hobbit trilogies though, including using motion control cameras linked to moving scenery and characters to maintain the illusion (like as the camera moved, a character sitting in a chair would be dollied (dollyed?) just right so that you could move the camera without the illusion being ruined via funky moving perspective)

Banana for scale? I have no concept for how large any of them are.

u/spiderminbatmin 7d ago

My guess is the short ones are probably just under five feet tall. They are probably the extra short cheerleaders who get thrown in the air and stuff. The basketball players are probably just over six feet tall, maybe 6’3” or so.

u/eager_wayfarer 7d ago

The middle player might be 6'3" but I think the corner ones would be around 6'9"

Now I'm just holding a ruler up to my screen so take that for what it's worth, but there is quite a disparity.
