  Does anyone know anything about shrinking effects?

  Is this a follow-up to your previous thread [link]?

  Are you still planning the shoot, or have you already shot?

  Yes. I can’t figure how to do it. I haven’t started filming yet, though

  The simplest approach? Chroma-key your talent. Shoot the background plates separately. Composite them in post.

  Do a Google search on “making of Alice in Wonderland” and you’ll see a ton of articles and videos on the techniques they used in Tim Burton’s film.
