IMHO he is one of the legends of movie making but sadly not known well enough for his creations globally.

A very many happy returns Ray

Oh, he is, or better: he was. Since the technique is not used to that ammount anymore, it simply is not that dominant in the audience'S mind. That's all. And many other trick specialists and camera and lights artists came after him, who also contributed their share with their new techniques - until today it all turned digital (with the most prominent exception of Peter Jackson).

I love that skeleton fighting scene from Jason and the Argonauts.
