Tricks used to make actors taller?
post #1

I would like to know how they make actors look taller in the movies. In Collateral with Tom Cruise, him and Jamie Foxx look about the same height. There is no way they shot ever scene with lifts or with low camera angles since Foxx has 5 inches on Cruise. So how do they make this work?

 

I knowthey use

 

∙ Lifts

∙ Low camera angles

∙ Digging ditches

 

What are some of the other tricks they use?
