Testimonials

I have worked with Paul for many years on various projects and he is an able, detailed, creative force. The range and scope of these projects has had dynamic final results because of Paul. He is a wonderkund!

Jock McDonald – American Photographer at Jock McDonald Films

Paul is the rare individual that understands both technology and art. He is a great collaborator that elevates a vision by truly understanding his craft and approaching it with a professional attitude. On our project, he created seamless fluid animation from stills and was a conduit from production on the set to post. I hope to work with him again soon.

Tommy Pallotta – American Director/Producer at Submarine

Paul is a real pleasure to work with: he is creative, hardworking computer artist with excellent technical and artistic skills. He would always push the technology to the limit to get the desired result. His feature proposals for the FrameFree products were always to the point and quite insightful for the enghineers. Besides being very efficient and productive with the software tools, Paul on many occasions was taking top quality reference pictures and videos for his projects. Paul is a teamplayer and can provide leadership when necessary. Also Paul has an easy going personality and a good sense of humor. I would be happy to work with Paul in future.

Igor Borovikov – Research Data Scientist at Electronic Arts (EA)

Paul is a truly dedicated photographer and motion graphic artist. His fanatical attention to detail, unique perspective, and fervent passion for creating images combine to deliver inspired results. He also "gets" technology, and has a specific insight into what camera/shot/software will yield the best results for any given project.

Stuart Sharpe – Product Development and Marketing Framefree Technologies

Paul is a very talented photographer and creative producer who successfully blended top notch photography skills with skills in using cutting edge software tools to create compelling new media presentations. Paul works well in a business setting as well, relating well with other creatives, tech types and clients. I can't recommend Paul highly enough.
