    You'll notice if you pay attention that most scenes where a small guy and a big guy are in the same shot, the shorter character will have his back facing the camera. This is because they are using a double who is wearing the costume, and all the costumes are designed to obscure the look of the actor from the back.

    Very simple. A closer object seems larger than a further object. If you don't move the camera, then everything is fine. The problem is that when you start to move the camera, the parallax movement of closer objects is faster than that of further objects. That breaks the illusion. To compensate, they moved one of the objects along with the camera to match its parallax to the other object. That way it still looks like they are the same distance from the camera.

It's nowhere near as well written or developed because it has about 1/4th of the combined material of all of the LotR books and was written for children, culminating in a different style of storytelling. We ended up with story arcs and characters never even mentioned (or barely) in the book, let alone characters actually doing things that directly effect the story.

    To be fair, CGI --when not overused-- is a great tool for cutting the costs of filming certain scenes which would otherwise be impossible, either because of financial or technological constraints. There are many films today which use CGI in such extremely effective ways that the audience has no idea it's even there. In a lot of cases, there's really no reason NOT to use CGI since you can create a photorealistic scene for a mere fraction of the price of shooting in reality.

    Why is everyone shitting on CGI? Half the time you’re watching something with CGI you don’t even know it because it is done very well. I’ve been learning for four years and have still barely scratched the surface of what is possible. It’s an art of its own and has made things possible in film that would never be possible without it. Don’t get me wrong these practical effects are really cool and interesting but I don’t think a lot of people understand that the only reason CGI “saves time” is because HUNDREDS of people are working on it simultaneously and sometimes are even half of the crew

    If you ever get the chance, get the extended edition dvd set and watch the extras. No film has ever put together a better set of extras. There are literally hours upon hours of this stuff. How they scout for locations... how they decide costume looks, how they pre-viz, how they storyboard, how they do sound effects. And I'm not talking the usual dvd 2 minute fluff pieces. These are like documentaries. Also, the audio commentary tracks are priceless. There are 4 of them with different groups of actors, or director/tech etc. The stories and things they talk about are incredible. There were things they put in sets that will never be seen on camera, but were there for the actors to see and feel it was real.

    no he was crying because he is mostly a stage actor or a personal actor that thrives on being around the people he is supposed to be in a scene with. He had to do most of his scenes completely alone giving the illusion he was talking with others. That for him was incredibly lonely, and stressful as an actor without having others to play off of.

    You should probably realize that they did extensive use of green screen on LOTR as well. When Gandalf first enters bag end they used different sets and compositing. Bilbo and Gandalf weren't even in the camera together. It's not like LOTR didn't use CGI and green screen. The Hobbit definitely eschewed practical in favor of CG though and that is a shame. Though if you ask me a significantly larger problem is the ridiculous changes to the story.
