Jeremy Klem, Animation Supervisor

Jeremy began his career as a character animator and layout artist in an unusual way. He studied engineering at the University of Calgary and excelled academically, but after finishing an engineering artwork course at the top of his class, he decided to switch his focus and began studying art and design theory at the Alberta College of Art and Design.

While he enjoyed the creativity of art and design theory, he missed the precision of mathematics and physics, so once again he switched his academic focus, but this time to animation. Animation was the perfect marriage of Jeremy's interests, and he earned a diploma in digital animation at Sprott-Shaw Community College in Calgary Alberta.

Jeremy joined New Machine Studios in the summer of 2006 as an entry level animator and worked his way up to layout artist, then lead layout artist, setting up key poses for the animation team to in-between as well as technically prepping shots to be animated. He also co-directed an episode of Raven Tales, and supervised several animation teams throughout production of both Raven Tales and New Machine's first feature film project, The Wizard's Christmas.
