The Hobbit

While crafting the cinematic masterpieces of Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, the visionary director Peter Jackson was a staunch advocate for practical effects. However, he slightly diluted this approach for the ‘The Hobbit’ series. The magical realm of Middle-Earth was populated by a diverse cast of hobbits, dwarves, men, elves, wizards, and giants. A multitude of actors, both well-known and hidden gems, brilliantly breathed life into your cherished characters.

Particularly, Sir Ian McKellen required a substantial amount of assistance. His character, the imposing wizard Gandalf, frequently mingles with the pint-sized hobbits. Therefore, it was essential to devise a method to make him appear as a towering figure, dwarfing the other actors. This task was a challenging yet exciting puzzle to solve, adding a unique layer of complexity to the magical world of Middle Earth.
