Zemeckis

Academy Award-winning American movie director, writer, and producer, Robert Zemeckis, is known for his special effects reflected through his films. In the Wikipidia Encyclopedia Website, an overview of his life, schooling, career, and his interest in effects and digital film-making is discussed. Special effects include live action with animation in his film, Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Another example is in his film, Forrest Gump, where he places the main character in scenes with well-known historical figures such as John F. Kennedy. Forrest Gump is the film that won him an Academy Award for Best Director.


No other contemporary director has used special effects to more dramatic and narrative purpose...As writer and director, he has rarely allowed the show to lose sight of...human realities.
- Film Critic David Thomson
