Jeremy Railton's place at the forefront of entertainment design has
been carved out over a thirty year career in which he has loaned his
talents to some of the most significant artists, events and productions
of this era. Born on a ranch in Zimbabwe and educated in fine art in
England, Jeremy began his career in British film production while still
a student. His early success then led him to Los Angeles' prestigious
Mark Taper Forum, where he worked with Christopher Isherwood, and then
to assisting the legendary Cecil Beaton in an LA production of My Fair
Lady. His renown as an art director grew steadily and eventually guided
Jeremy into a successful foray into film and television. He won
critical acclaim as a production designer for recreating post-WW II Los
Angeles in Paramount's The Two Jakes. He earned his first Emmy in art
direction for his work on Pee Wee's Playhouse, a second Emmy for art
direction of the 57th Annual Academy Awards and a third for set and
costume design for the Hallmark Hall of Fame's children series Zoobilee
Zoo. Although his work spans just three decades, Jeremy's impact and
range of experience is without peer in his industry. In popular music,
Jeremy is one of today's most prolific art directors and production
designers. His credits in live concert staging, television concert
specials or music videos include projects for Phil Collins, Luther
Vandross, Cher, Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, Neil Diamond, Ozzy
Osbourne, Rod Stewart, Diana Ross, Julio Iglesias, Fleetwood Mac and
the EMP Opening Concert. Jeremy has also been behind a diverse variety
of architectural projects such as AT&T's Global Olympic Village at the
1996 Summer Olympic Games and Billboard Live! night club in Los
Angeles; Las Vegas entertainment spectacles such as Atlantis at the
Forum Shops at Caesars Palace and The Fremont Street Experience, a
light matrix vault over downtown's famous avenue; the GM Pavilion
Showroom Theater, an attraction at Epcot Center in Orlando, Florida; as
well as leading the design team for Fox Studios Australia in Sydney.
Currently, Jeremy is the Production Designer of the Opening and Closing
