Jacob Vu
About

Committed to mastery.

Jacob Vu is a creative director working in film and post, for brands, agencies, and directors.

Ten years of it, and the craft started earlier still — After Effects in the fourth grade, broadcast under a mentor through high school, commercial work before graduation. A family of doctors and a start in pharmacy did not take. It ran through extended-reality stages and virtual production before settling into creative direction through post. Based in Dallas–Fort Worth; working worldwide.

Behind him, V-LAB — an editorial team he trained — extends his process, so one standard carries every frame.
