Craig Barron: Academy Award-Winning VFX Arist and Film Historian

As an incredibly special Thanksgiving treat, today I am talking to Academy Award winner Craig Barron, who not only worked on The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, but has been a visual effects pioneer for decades, beginning with his start at Industrial Light & Magic as an 18 year old. From portraying Darth Vader to working with David Fincher, we go through as much of his filmography as possible, as well as the incredible work he is doing for the preservation of film history. If you’re listening to this episode when it is just released, we are going to be dropping the next round of TALKING BAY 94 merch pre-orders right after Thanksgiving. So, wear your fandom for George Lucas, Rian Johnson and / or Kathleen Kennedy on your chest, with these CREDITS-inspired shirts.
