Steven Spielberg has been my favourite filmmaker for the last decade. He has a way of inspiring emotions in the audience in ways that not many filmmakers can. I love the way he he combines images and sound to have the maximum impact\u2014 Krishna Bala Shenoi<\/em><\/p>\n

Bengaluru:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>A 19-year-old Bengaluru student was paid the ultimate compliment on Wednesday when his hero Steven Spi\u00adelberg wrote him a letter of appreciation after his own animated tribute caught the legendary film maker’s eye.<\/p>\n

The handwritten letter of appreciation from Spiel\u00adberg sees him use the word \u2018im\u00adpress\u2019 not once, but twice.<\/p>\n

\u201cGetting this letter from my childhood hero was such a shock,\u201d said an ecs\u00adtatic Krishna Bala Shenoi, second year student at Sri\u00adshti School of Art, Design and Technology, who couldn\u2019t contain his excitement.<\/p>\n

\u201cGetting 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\u2019t restricted to just his films,\u201d says Krishna Bala Shenoi, Second Year of Foundation Studies Programme at Srishti School of Art, Design and Technology.<\/p>\n

Steven Spielberg\u2019s hand-written letter addressed to Krishna Bala Shenoi<\/strong><\/p>\n

He has admired filmmaker Steven Spielberg since he was a child and now he has received a handwritten letter of appreciation from the man himself.<\/p>\n

The 19-year-old, who compelled Spielberg to use the word \u201cimpress\u201d twice in his letter in appreciation of his animation film, does not want to stop at animation. He wants to be a filmmaker like his hero.<\/p>\n

\u201cI haven\u2019t been able to capture my awe for him. And therefore, I decided to create this animated tribute to him.\u00a0It took me four months to make the video. I worked on it whenever I was free from college work. I have used a technique called rotoscoping, which involved drawing over the original video, which was, in this case, my favourite images from Spielberg\u2019s movies. But this was only for my hero. In the long run, I want to make films,\u201d says Krishna.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been interested in filmmaking ever since I began watching films, when I was around eight years old. My mother introduced me to great movies like Superman, ET, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, etc.<\/p>\n

\u201cI started making short movies with an old Sony camcorder, building blocks, clay models, and whatever I could find, employing very rough stop-motion animation techniques,\u201d Krishna adds.
\nHe is also the youngest Far-Flung Correspondent on film critic Roger Ebert\u2019s blog. \u201cIn 2010, the world\u2019s most read film critic, Roger Ebert, contacted me via e-mail after seeing my films and writing on the internet, and Invited me to the Foreign Correspondents\u2019 blog on his website.<\/p>\n

The Foreign Correspondents blog is a feature of Roger Ebert\u2019s Journal in which film commentators from all over the world contribute their video reviews, observations, musings, philosophies and pronouncements. Another foreign correspondent for Ebert\u2019s blog, Anath White, sent my video to Lois Burwell, a make-up artist who has worked with Spielberg on films like Lincoln, and Saving Private Ryan, who passed it on to Spielberg.<\/p>\n
