Our Team | Jack Semcken

Jack Semcken

Lead Wrangler and Render QC Coordinator

Pasadena, California

My team facilitates and QC's everything that goes through our render pipeline. We also perform quality control checks on all renders coming from stage before sending them onwards.

Q&A

Most challenging part of your job?

Balancing requests from stage while working with other departments to make sure critical jobs render quickly.

What's surprising about your job?

It takes a lot of collaboration. Having a team you can trust is crucial to making sure you're not spinning too many plates.

First job in film?

I was a DIT and 2nd unit camera operator for the Brazilian telenovela Os Dez Mandamentos.

Fun fact about yourself?

One of my favorite things to do is build IKEA furniture. It is so soothing. It's like big LEGO.
