Animation

Paul continues to develop a range of exciting work with graphic artist and animator, Guy Downes.

 

Working on an array of projects, they tell stories and explore ideas together with curiosity and optimism. Paul writes many of the scripts, and provides regular voice overs!

It Starts With Us is an animation Paul scripted and voiced for CSIRO. It's focus is the experience of women working in STEM, and the critical need to change attitudes and behaviours to ensure women are a valued, equal and enduring part of science and technology in Australia.
