I just happened to read this exchange written six years ago:
That’s six foot six; Galadriel is man high, which is one of the problems with casting her if there were ever to be a movie.
Since the movie doesn’t contain any Earth-modern artifacts, much less a meterstick, you could just scale all the people down 10% or so. You still have to find a man-high woman to play Galadriel, but this is easier if it means six feet even.
Sure, and then you have to find people to play three foot even hobbits.
Life action would take serious computer scaling work, I think.
At least three kinds of trick were used; if you haven’t seen the ‘making of’ disc with FotR, it’s quite interesting.
