Jeremy Collins is currently a senior animator on an unannounced project at Blizzard Entertainment in Irvine, California, as well as a mentor at the online animation school iAnimate.
Prior to his current project, Jeremy was a senior animator on the World of Warcraft team, helping to ship expansions from Cataclysm through Legion. In the last 13 years, Jeremy has worked on video games, feature animated films, VFX films and TV projects for a number of companies including Sony Pictures Imageworks, Disney Feature Animation, and Naughty Dog.
His animation can be seen in films like Tangled, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland, Arthur Christmas, and video games like Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, to name a few.
His exuberance and passion for bringing animated characters to life is matched only by his line-by-line memorization of the 1986 movie Labyrinth, starring David Bowie. His true loves in life are his family, punk rock, and sword & sorcery.
Last year at Promised Land, Jeremy led an animation workshop and discussed the process of creating epic animated cycles in World of Warcraft. He’s coming back to Łódź this September to talk about the differences between feature animation and being an animator in the games industry, as well as the many lessons he learned along the way.
