[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 9479635, member: 7006"] This is very true. I find this especially true in potential D&D films, where things would look a whole heck of a lot better to me if they just actually cast size-appropriate actors for many of the various species, rather than trying to follow LotR's footsteps of using greenscreens and forced perspective on regular-sized people to "shrink" them. Hey studios... you mean to tell me you can't find actual people who are around 4' or slightly less to play gnomes, halflings, and goblins in the film, and actors around 4'6" to 4"9 to play dwarves? Invariably these types of characters are not used as principals in the film anyway, so it's not like you need acting talent the likes of Meryl Streep to cast them in smaller parts. Save yourself the money on special effects and actually find and cast actors of shorter stature to portray the smaller species in the movies. [/QUOTE]
