'''Ray Binger''' (November 16, 1888 – September 29, 1970) was an American [[cinematographer]]. He started working in [[Cinema of the United States|Hollywood]] in 1924, mastering the art of [[process photography]]. By 1934 he had gravitated towards [[special effects]] work. He was one of the many technicians involved in bringing authenticity to ''[[The Hurricane (1937 film)|The Hurricane]]'' in 1937, and was instrumental in the plane crash sequence in [[Alfred Hitchcock]]’s ''[[Foreign Correspondent (film)|Foreign Correspondent]]'' in 1940. Not all his assignments were quite that showy, however. He received an [[Academy Awards|Oscar]] nomination in the category [[Academy Award for Best Visual Effects|Best Special Effects]] for generating fake crowds to fill up the baseball stands in 1942's ''[[The Pride of the Yankees]]''.<ref name="Oscars1943">{{Cite web|url=http://www.oscars.org/oscars/ceremonies/1943 |title=The 15th Academy Awards (1943) Nominees and Winners |accessdate=2013-06-22 |work=oscars.org}}</ref> He was nominated twice more in the same category for ''[[The Long Voyage Home]]'' (1940)<ref name="Oscars1941">{{Cite web|url=http://www.oscars.org/oscars/ceremonies/1941 |title=The 13th Academy Awards (1941) Nominees and Winners |accessdate=2013-06-18|work=oscars.org}}</ref> and ''[[The North Star (1943 film)|The North Star]]'' (1943).<ref name="Oscars1944">{{Cite web|url=http://www.oscars.org/oscars/ceremonies/1944 |title=The 16th Academy Awards (1944) Nominees and Winners |accessdate=2013-06-22 |work=oscars.org}}</ref>
