EDDIE PAUL--Owner/President
With over 30 years of engineering experience, Mr. Paul has developed innovative designs in pumps, compressors, engines, optics, electronics, camera movements and housings, hydraulic systems, and animatronics. His diverse background in prototype development and design is unequaled and his knowledge of a wide range of engineering sciences has led to many discoveries. Consequently, Mr. Paul is the holder of several U.S. and international patents. Most of his experience stems from many years of contracting with the aerospace industry, branches of the United States government/military, and large corporations in the automotive, industrial, and environmental fields. The portion of Mr. Paul's experience relevant to Circlescan 4D is his association with the Los Angeles film industry. He spent three decades producing and coordinating stunts and special effects for over 100 feature films and television shows including Grease, Terminator, E.T., and the underwater IMAX film Search for the Great Shark. (Click here to see Eddie Paul's complete entertainment bio) Jacques Cousteau and Discovery Channel specials document some of Mr. Paul's most notable work.
