In order to make the creatures look short, they used actual body doubles. The directors even tried to utilize a trick called Forced Perspective to make the creatures look bigger or shorter. Moreover, when we saw the two characters at Bag End, it was a separate shot that was then combined with another shot to make it look more fluid.
Also, both of them were filmed at different sets. Compared to human beings, hobbits are about half as big as normal human beings. However, just like humans, hobbits also vary by people. Contrary to popular belief, Hobbits do not have big feet. These creatures have curly hairs on their feet which help them move around without any assistance from any kind of shoes. Hobbits had a wider and more rugged hand, which gave them the confidence and skills to be good at what they did. Given that both the hobbits and the dwarves are known for being short, it might be easy to mix them up.
But one key feature that makes them stand out is their beards. Hobbits are fond of wearing bright colors, especially yellows and green. They usually dress in outfits that reflect their love of color. Instead, the characters wore more earthy tones to blend in with the environment. Despite their fondness for overindulging, hobbits are still living longer than humans. They live an average lifespan of around years. This could be down to their peaceful ways of life or the genes that make them good.
It could be that they are afraid of heights or being chased by dragons. They also tend to avoid being in danger. Part of the fun of Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings film trilogy is seeing them brought to life. From hobbits to humans, elves and wizards, they represent the very smallest and tallest inhabitants, and their heights often change how they interact with one another.
The films use tricks of the camera and different perspectives to change actors' appearance, making an average-sized actor as small as a hobbit, or as tall as an elf lord. Many fans may be surprised to know who among the cast is the smallest and the tallest because it might not be who they think. As the most powerful of Gandalf's order, Saruman the White wasn't just known for his magical abilities; his physically imposing presence indicated his authority and commanded respect.
Standing just under six-and-a-half feet tall, Sir Christopher Lee was both intimidating and awe-inspiring. Saruman: Who Would Win?
Despite being nearly ninety when filming began, Lee's height — like his performance — was never diminished. Towering over even Gandalf, Saruman made even the greatest of warriors involved with destroying the ring seem diminutive. Lee's height, as well as his stentorian voice, also served to make him a very memorable character. In Middle-earth, elves are known for being tall, graceful, and fair.
Therefore, it made sense to cast a tall and lithe actor like Hugo Weaving to embody these qualities as the Lord of Rivendell. Elves are frequently the tallest characters on-screen, even among the most physically imposing from the race of Men. It was Elrond's height that added to the drama of his solemn conversations with Gandalf and Aragorn , and to the comicality involved with his chastising of several hobbits who happened to crash the secret council meeting.
As a powerful metamorph, Sauron didn't often take physical form , but when he did it was of a tall menacing Warlord of Darkness. Walking into battle, he parted oceans of soldiers with his huge strides and his mighty mace. At 6 ft and 1 inch tall, Sala Baker had enough height to make Sauron actually seem like a threat, especially with all of his armor on.
In Tolkien's novels, that version of Sauron was not described in great detail, which is odd given how much description he devoted to other characters.
