> I heard that they shot the scenes once for the human and elven characters, and again for the hobbit and dwarven characters, and then digitally spliced the footage together into one only making the hobbits & dwarves their proper size in relation to the other characters.

Some of the shots were done with forced perspective. In the current issue of Total Movie magazine (the US version of UK's Total Film) they mention filming the scene where Bilbo pours Gandalf some tea. In that scene, Bilbo is actually about thrity feet behind Gandalf.

In the scene in Bree where Frodo is hiding under the tavern table, over-sized legs were walked behind the over-sized table, making Elijah Wood appear Hobbit-sized.
