[musings] – introductions and inspiration

wuddup peeps. my name is Paul, but some might refer to me as PWL, Pauliosis and sometimes even P-Dubz.

i’m the kind of guy who has a real soft spot for a good ol’ fashion horror flick. Nighbreed, Army of Darkness, and Dawn of the Dead (the original George A. Romero film) to name a few. when i’m not desensitizing myself with cinematic terrors i like to kick back and spend quality time with the people i care about most. i’m ultimately much more sensitive then i’ll admit most times, and I have a small tendency to be a bit of a dork. (i also often spend more time styling my hair then i would like to admit, but let that be our little secret).

i’ve been a part of the stillmotion family for about 2 years now and I can…
…honestly say it’s certainly been one heck of a wild ride. you might wonder how a post-production manager finds time for excitement, but when i’m not sorting through a hundred different hard drives trying to find a certain shot, managing our server, or even spending countless hours editing, i love traveling the world with my buds creating films that people remember.

i always try and draw my inspiration from the people and places i encounter and ultimately the experiences that i have. there’s so much beauty in the world, even at times when it’s much harder to see. i often find myself on a shoot where there’s so much craziness going on around me, and everyone is so consumed by what they need to do, and i find myself just standing there, watching. no matter how stressed you are, or how busy things may appear to be, sometimes just taking a moment to stop, breath, and look all around you, you’ll often notice things you hadn’t realized were ever even there and ultimately those can be some of the most inspiring moments of all.

every single person on this planet has their own unique story and it truly fascinates me how many of them are still out there waiting to be told.
