Before becoming a visual effects artist, Schere earned a Master's degree in Digital Effects from Bournemouth University, England. He remained in England, working in broadcast design on a number of popular BBC documentaries.

In addition to his feature film work, he is also known to fans of the television series Vikings for the numerous digital backdrops he created.
