Fon Davis: Prequel Trilogy Model Maker and BattleBots Judge

from Talking Bay 94: Star Wars Interviews · host Star Wars

Today is an interview with the incredibly talented model maker and visual effects artist, Fon Davis. My wife and I took Fon and his girlfriend out for some Texas BBQ (LeRoy and Lewis, please sponsor the show) while they were in Austin for South by Southwest ... and then we sat around with a beer or two and chatted all about Fon's time working on the Special Editions and the prequel trilogy while at Industrial Light & Magic. I hope you enjoy this conversation … it's really a blast, and Fon is such a wealth of knowledge and stories. I really appreciate Fon accepting the invite and hanging out with me on a Monday night. It was such a joy for me. For more information about Fonco Studios, head to their site, and follow Fon on his social media! In other news, Talking Bay 94 is headed to Japan! I will be hosting a live recording of this podcast on Saturday, April 19 at 10AM, with a special guest and special surprises. I hope to see you there! And in other other news … I co-wrote an official Star Wars book. I cannot believe it. Star Wars Encyclopedia from DK Books is out and can be ordered now. My next book, The Star Wars Encyclopedia of Starfighters and Other Vehicles can be pre-ordered now, coming out this fall!
