There are a number of ways of doing this practical, filming a guy in a suit in front of a green screen and then placing him into the scene later, scaled up.
Then there is the other... good old perspective/camera tricks and apple boxes, still pretty effective. We've got Larry Fong, the guy knows what he's doing.
That was the plan for Ps. How did they fail so badly in making the Preds look much taller? Bad camera work? Classic looked like a small, fat Pred.
While i don't think the Predators in Ps looked small, i agree that they didn't look nearly as huge as they used to in the other movies. But those weren't played by huge people, the tallest was 6' 7" Brian Steele, but that guy is also
very muscular. We got taller and much slender people this time, dancer/parkour guys who are very athletic, much more like Kevin Peter Hall. The rest will be movie magic. With a bag full of money, you can pretty much put anything you want on the big screen, i don 't care how they do it personally as long as it looks good.
While i prefer the Predators practically, there are some marvellous CG characters, with mocap you can create pretty awesome stuff nowadays, i'm open to that. The new Turtles look better and more dynamic than they ever did with any suit, they are beautifully textured and rendered, just an example.
