The man was so far ahead of his time that it's almost scary.
The first of his films I can recall seeing is titled 'Looker'

In short the story goes like this...
Ad advertising agency uses lasers to scan in the body of actors and actresses and makes CG versions of them for use in their commercials. Of course they have to kill the real life version though. It's a really slick and interesting movie worth taking a look at.
For those of us who live in a world were scanning in the face of body of a real life person and animating it in CG form is today's reality, this film shows that as far back as 1981 this man imagined the tools that today we take for granted.
Synopsis from IMDB.com:
Plastic surgeon Larry Roberts performs a series of minor alterations on a group of models who are seeking perfection. The operations are a resounding success. But when someone starts killing his beautiful patients, Dr. Roberts becomes suspicious and starts investigating. What he uncovers are the mysterious - and perhaps murderous - activities of a high-tech computer company called Digital Matrix
