turns Will Ferrell’s Buddy the Elf into one of Santa’s good-natured, cheerful helpers, while the filmmakers were able to draw humor from his vast height in numerous scenes. Buddy was a human orphan who crawled into Santa’s bag of toys one Christmas Eve and was accidentally transported to the North Pole. Raised as an elf his entire life, Buddy later learns that he is human and decides to return to New York City one Christmas to reconnect with his long-lost father Walter Hobbs .
Forced perspective is an on-screen illusion in which two objects or actors are placed on camera roughly parallel to each other but with one a greater distance from the camera than the other. This creates the illusion that one person or object is a much greater height while standing “next” to another.
One such example occurs early when Buddy is seen in a classroom learning the fundamentals of Christmas cheer with the rest of Santa’s elves. Buddy, seated in a standard classroom chair, appears to be a giant next to his classmates, but filming the scene involved placing Will Ferrell in a chair on the far end of the classroom and seating him several feet in front of and to the side of the other actors in the scene.
