It wasn't accurate (but for quick, fun, and a reasonable
facsimile of the original, it was pretty good...;-) it can
be done a couple of ways, but I think I used the distortion
tool in "motion". If I were doing it again, I think I would
try "camera view" (under "filters") for better perspective effect.
It would take more work to get it right, but the letter height,
as well as letter width, should diminish with distance using
this filter.
