how did they film elf

The movie "Elf" was filmed in various locations in Toronto, Canada. The main sets included the North Pole workshop, Santa's workshop, and the New York City streets. They used a combination of practical sets and green screen technology to create the magical and whimsical world of the North Pole. They also used real snow to give the movie a more authentic look and feel. They also had to be very careful with the lighting and camera angles to make the elves look short and cute, while also making the humans look tall and powerful.
