Ian Spendloff is a highly experienced Director, Art Director and Designer, with a particular focus on character led projects. He has created concepts, narratives, characters & creatures for a host of thrilling projects, spanning advertising, series and immersive entertainment.

Ian’s latest major project was a multi-million pound, fully CG theme park dark ride ‘Pearl Quest’, created for China’s Wanda Group. Framestore were lucky enough to be granted full directorial & creative control of the project, which allowed  Ian’s talent in re-imagining a classic Chinese folklore to shine out over eleven large- scale installation screens. The project attracted a VES nomination for “Outstanding Visual Effects in a Special Venue Project”    

Ian was instrumental in the making of Tooned, an animated series crafted by Framestore in partnership with Formula 1 giant McLaren. Tooned was highly praised, winning the Gold Clio, Eurobest and Lovie Awards, with the special edition Tooned 50 landing Ian a place in the D&AD book.

Ian also drove the iconic ‘Beats by Dre’ campaigns, providing the early concepts for the Pill characters right through to the animation. Ian has a  passion for capturing personality in his work, and a natural ability to add humour, emotion & visual depth to any project, regardless of platform.
