For an assignment at collage me and my crew are making a short Slenderman film.
I know its over used, but this is Western Australia and its not like one has ever been made here.

I have an actor who is tall and skinny, about 6'5. But i dont think he will be tall enough.
Does anybody know of any special effects that we could use to make someone appear taller or in post production actually make them taller?

DRESS HIM IN A GREEN OR BLUE SUIT WITH MOTION CAPTURE NODES AND THEN YOU CAN DIGITALIZE HIM AND MAKE HIM TALLER.

I DO NOT KNOW.

Forced perspective. Classic technique for making people look bigger. Also, a vertical pinstripe on the suit could help.

We've thought about forced perspective but that would be hard to appear natural if we go for the 'wobblecam' style. The pinstripes would work though.

How tall woul you guys consider Slenderman to be?

Just cast the rest of the actors as midgets and make a whole miniature set.

I have to agree with the forced perspective angle, anything you can do in camera is better. But if you absolutely must go post, I would try shooting him green/blue screen and compositing him into the footage in After Effects.
But first try it in camera, don't learn to rely on post.

you could use some small stilts about 20-30cm in extra height and that'll not look like the legs are too un-naturally long and provide the extra height you need for your already tall actor.

Okay well either try and make the low angels appear natural if the camera was held by the actor and if it doesn't work we will try>>15836777

Then if that doesn't work we will change the style.

Shoot from a low angle, have him closer to the camera than other actors, give him inserts in his shoes + makeup to make his face look thinner. The usual crap movies do to make people look taller.

There's a web series called Film Riot that shows you how to do very cheap movie effects. Look it up.
