In order to make the actors playing Hobbits and Dwarfs look noticeably smaller than humans, Wizards, and Elves, roughly three techniques were used. The easiest way was to simply put some actors farther away from the camera than others, using forced perspective as a way to make some appear taller than others. In other situations, a small actor was used as a scale double, with the face of the real actor digitally superimposed over the double's face. Finally, for several shots, actors were filmed separately against a greenscreen, and were digitally composited together into the same shot with the desired height (the final shot at the end of the Council of Elrond was filmed this way). In Middle-earth lore, Dwarfs are slightly taller than Hobbits. Luckily, John Rhys-Davies (Gimli the Dwarf) was slightly taller than the actors playing the Hobbits, so in every shot in which Gimli and a Hobbit actor appear, he did not have to be filmed separately from his fellow actors.
