Working with Creator/GeorgeLucas and ILM, he designed [[Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack Boba Fett's armor and AT-ATs]] and won an Oscar as part of the Best Visual Effects recipients for ''Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk''. After he made his name in visual effects, he began getting cracks at directing effects-driven films under his technical expertise. He's known for directing action films (mainly for Creator/{{Disney}}) that appeal to broad audiences.
