Ok, I'll bite. What's a scale double?
-
The scale double is there to make the hobbits and dwarves look the right height.pic.twitter.com/75olDwweMY

Holy shit, Gimli is taller than Aragorn in real life.
-
that actually worked in their favor, since he is the right height compared to the hobbit actors, so they only had to use 2 perspective 'layers' for height, normal and smaller. Otherwise they might had to do an intermediate one just for Gimli.

The fuck is up with McKellen’s left shoe?
-
The studio only had the budget for five shoes. Wardrobe was told to "be creative" and make it work.
