Jamie Caliri

Jamie Caliri was born in 1970. After studying Animation and Filmmaking at Cal Arts, he directed several commercials and logo treatments in the early to mid 1990's. In the late 1990's Caliri left animation behind, for some time at least, to direct live action music videos for the likes of Marcy Playground and other bands. He received a Grammy award nomination in the category of best live action music video for directing Morphine's 'Early to Bed' promo in 1997.

Caliri directed the striking animated end credit sequence for Lemony Snicket's - A Series of Unfortunate Events.

Another highlight in Caliri's career has to be the outstanding stop motion animated commercial 'Dragon' for United Airlines. (You can watch it here. There's also an interesting "Making Of" clip).

In 2009, Caliri and his creative team were nominated for an Emmy for Outstanding Main Title Design for their main title sequence for HBO's tv show United States of Tara.
