A cameraman will tell you that it is all in the angle the video is shot. Short people tend to be shot with the camera looking up at them so that they appear taller...
varying degrees will cause different heights. If you put the camera on the floor and shoot up at prince, he'd look like king kong, the skinny version! If you shot the video from eye level he would look HIS normal size, and if you shot the video from a bit above eye level, he'd look SHORTER. It's all camera perspective.

Well you see Prince lost his legs years ago in a terrible accident after jumping off a Piano. So now he is forced to wear prosthetic legs and sometimes when he wakes up he grabs the short ones and sometimes he grabs the longer set.

camera angles

when you film or place your camera lower then the subject.. it makes anyone look "larger then life"

he still looks teeny.
