Mark Kolpack
The VFX supervisor has quite a fan following on twitter and has consistently delivered movie quality VFX on a television show budget. While many other shows are left in the dust, SHIELD always looks its best, like a little sister or brother to the MCU at large. What’s important however is how much he cares. He cares about creating Ghost Rider, he cared about creating everything from the Zephyr to the Quinjet, from Hive to Joey’s abilities. He demonstrates the love, care, and compassion that we’ve come to expect from our seasons of SHIELD. He’s also responsible for helming an episode of Slingshot which feels very much like a prelude to the director’s chair.
There’s no person who loves the craft or cares about creating astounding visuals on the SHIELD team than Mark Kolpack. He’s the Mack to the SHIELD team, the creative mechanic who makes the entire engine go. Mack has stepped up as SHIELD director on screen, shouldn’t the Mack to the production team step up as well?
