You might have seen some of his work.

The guy’s visuals were amazing. He certainly left his mark on the film world.

RIP to Douglas Trumbull, Effects Wizard Behind 2001 and Blade Runner

Science fiction cinema would not be what it is today without the work of visual effects wizard Douglas Trumbull, who worked on films like 2001: A Space Odyssey, Blade Runner, and Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Trumbull has passed away at the age of 79.

I saw this earlier, and it was another "I'm in the matrix" moment with my previous quote thread contribution from Blade Runner.

Yes, a real genius, a true artist.
