-he can act( i guess...never actually seen him in anything, but the producers chose him so i guess he works for what theyre doing.), or at least put up with the mo-cap suit and all it entails.

and the reason to go through the trouble is because thats the stuff that happens when making a movie like this. just because you dont understand it, doesnt means its not valid or it wont work.

why not just cast little people in lord of the rings? by your line of reasoning, why even do mo-cap at all and not just do cgi animation?

because in the end it makes a more refined product.

yes, this whole thing has been stricken with Bay AIDS, but he's still in the business of making movies and this is how movies are made.

Dude, I'm not saying this stuff isn't possible. I didn't say it wasn't valid or that it wouldn't work.

But I think it's a stretch to think they couldn't find a guy who fit the bill and was shorter. It makes sense to make John Rhys-Davies look like a dwarf, because you get to have John Rhys-Davies play the part. Same for Neeson and Damon. There's a clear payoff. I just don't think they would give themselves all this extra work to do in order to make this guy fit, when he's not special.
It makes more sense, to me, to think that they picked a guy that fit the role.
