Size of Marshallers (Avatars)

Or you put the marshaller on a stair or platform as seen on some airports ...

Usually at (passenger)gates there are light-systems that guide the aircraft into position.

Or the marshaller could, once the aircraft is lined up, set two steps aside (without turning his/her body) to the left or right so you can see him/her through the side window. Once lined up it's a question of making the a/c stop at the designated point, you don't really have to be straight in front of the a/c to signal that.
Yesterday I happened to see a marshaller doing just that in a documentary about the making of the B787 Dreamliner.

How do 747 or 777 users experience this phenomenon of "tiny" marshallers, I wonder? They must be effected even more in this matter.

Kind regards,
