Paul worked on the conform and finishing for this series of celebrated commercials at the boutique Manhattan post-house, Chromavision. 

“It was a coup when my friend, producer David Lenick, asked me to a edit these prominent national spots starring Kate Moss. 

Agency work is demanding – very high-stakes with this spot especially. There were lots of cooks in the kitchen and all of them were tense. And when one of them complained about a questionable piece of equipment, the session was in danger of falling apart. Dave scrambled to get it replaced. 

In these situations, being an editor is akin to being an actor - projecting confidence while on the verge of panic, for example. Or covering mistakes so that the audience never knows they were made. 

And then it’s all about recovery. 

David got the new gear installed, and apparently my performance was convincing - the tension left the room and the results speak for themselves. We finished a bunch of these spots that session. They were a big hit in their day, all over commercial television for a long time.”
