He worked for the Australian Photo-Play Company then joined West's Pictures. When that company merged with Australasian Films he ran their weekly newsreel, Australasian Gazette until 1925.[1]
Two years later he went to work for Automatic Film Laboratories, then in 1935 established Percival Film Laboratories which he ran until his retirement in 1948.[2][3]
