Frank Ordaz: Tales from the ROTJ Matte Department
from Talking Bay 94: Star Wars Interviews · host Star Wars
Frank Ordaz was a matte painter for Return of the Jedi, as well as for movies like Temple of Doom, E.T. Star Treks II-IV and many more. An incredibly talented painter, Mr. Ordaz is such a fascinating conversationalist and brings to life a lot of the behind the scenes stories from the making of Return of the Jedi and beyond. I really had such a blast getting to delve deeper into his stories and the matte department. To check out his beautiful current work, head to ordazart.com That's all for this week. Coming up soon are my already recorded interviews with Lucy Autrey Wilson, Brian Muir, Toby Longworth and many more.
