There he worked for Liquid Animation, moving swiftly up the ranks –he got to make tea in Australia too. He has also worked as a freelance animator for many years. Since directing a 3D segment for Leticia's live-action short Shift, Paul just couldn't stay away and eventually –a couple of years of eventually- they got together and decided to set up Whackala to pursue their own projects and ideas.
Paul has also taught animation and film production for many years in three different colleges in Dublin.
