About
Australian born, Paul was given a 35mm still camera at the age of 11. That’s when his love for photography began.
Moving to NY at the age of 20 he enjoyed street photography. Paul then moved to LA and found himself working for a boutique D.I. shop working on film trailers for Fox Searchlight and Lionsgate. There he assisted Mitch Paulson, now at Company 3, learning Smoke/Flame and Lustre. This was the beginning days of D.I. where he learnt the trade of both film and digital.
Going freelance for a few years as both Finisher and Colorist, the Great Recession hit and Paul found a new home, a52. Starting off as a finisher, he worked with owner Angus Wall to slowly build a much needed color department for their studio.
At a52 Paul worked on commercials, main title sequences, features, docs-series, episodics, short films and music videos. He worked on David Fincher’s “House of Cards”, one of the first shows to begin a new trend, to release all episodes at once. A huge technical undertaking at that time, especially for a commercial house. Other notable shows Paul graded are Ava DuVernay’s Oscar nominated “13th”. “The Black Godfather”. “Five Came Back” and “Amanda Knox” and Oscar nominated Short Documentary “Audible”.
Paul joins The Mill where he recently graded 8 Super Bowl commercials including PopCorners “Breaking Good” and Amazon’s “Saving Sawyer”.
