Steven Spielberg Sends Handwritten Letter To Student Thanking Him For Youtube Video

A 19 year old student has made this fantastic tribute to Steven Spielberg using very clever rotoscoping. But the best thing about this is the animator got a hand written letter from the man himself, Steven Spielberg thanking him for a great tribute and complimenting him.

Here's what the creator of the video had to say about the video and the letter.

An animated tribute to my hero, filmmaker Steven Spielberg. You’ve probably seen the films featured in this movie already, but if you haven’t, you really should.

Rotoscoped frame by frame on Adobe Flash CS5, composited and edited on Sony Vegas Pro 12. Backgrounds created on Adobe Photoshop CS5. Music by John Williams.

“Getting this letter from my childhood hero was such a shock,” said an ecstatic Krishna Bala Shenoi, second year student at Srishti School of Art, Design and Technology, who couldn’t contain his excitement.

“Getting this letter from my hero was such a shock, I was shivering. My knees were wobbly. I am so thankful to Steven Spielberg for being gracious enough to have taken the time to write me such a kind letter. I am convinced that his goodness isn’t restricted to just his films,”

Paul Freeman talks about the famous 'fly' scene in an interview with TheIndyExperience.com and settled 'flygate:' This is a bit of a dicey question so don’t get too upset. (Laughs) A movie’s always got bloopers in it, some have a lot, and some only have three or four. And the most remarkable blooper was right before the opening of th...
