The Ian Emes Online Store showcases this dazzling imagery in a range of merchandise and previously unseen, highly collectible posters and prints. 
Ian Emes is the British film director, artist, animator, innovator of film techniques and long-time Pink Floyd collaborator. Described as \u2018precursor of the music video and digital animation\u2019<\/em>, Ian\u2019s experimental short film \u201cMeddle \u2013 One of These Days\u201d (1972) is the first ever synchronised interpretation of Pink Floyd music. By collaborating with Ian, Pink Floyd found a way to expand the immersive universe of their concerts, having previously used only lighting effects during their performances – ushering in a new era of concert technology not just for Pink Floyd but for rock music as a whole.
When the band commissioned Ian to animate \u201cThe Dark Side of The Moon\u201d, he created the world-famous \u201cTime\u201d sequence, (\u201cThe Emes Clocks\u201d) which was projected onto a circular screen, (\u201cMr. Screen\u201d).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following the euphoric reaction to \u201cTime\u201d at Wembley Arena (1974), Pink Floyd commissioned Ian to create sequences for \u201cSpeak To Me\u201d, (which included the iconic prism) \u201cOn the Run\u201d and \u201cUs and Them\u201d. The concert films were subsequently seen by millions across the world. Among the many treasures in Ian\u2019s archives are animation tests and storyboards for the entire \u201cThe Dark Side of The Moon\u201d album.
This unseen footage includes Ian\u2019s original \u201cUs and Them\u201d sequence of \u201cMarching Crosses\u201d – a forerunner of the \u201cMarching Hammers\u201d seen years later in Roger Waters\u2019 \u201cThe Wall\u201d. With its infinite perspectives and tumbling figures, Ian\u2019s dynamic graphic imagery became a founding style for the band. His \u201cTime\u201d sequence was itself re-purposed for Roger Waters\u2019 epic projections onto vast screens in his sell-out \u201cUs and Them\u201d World Tour (2019).
Previously Waters had asked Ian to create sequences for \u201cThe Wall – Live in Berlin\u201d (1990), his first solo appearance since splitting from the band. The concert was performed to a sell-out crowd of over 350,000 people, then the biggest concert audience in history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More recently, Ian\u2019s iconic \u201cMeddle \u2013 One of These Days\u201d animation revisited the circular screen in the historic Roman amphitheatre in David Gilmour\u2019s \u201cLive at Pompei\u201d tour (2016).
In parallel to his animation career, Ian continues to experiment as a multi-disciplinary artist, exploring all mediums of the still and moving image. He has created album covers, concept art and storyboards, directed nine feature films, TV series and hundreds of commercials with Ridley Scott Associates, garnering numerous awards, including three BAFTAS and an OSCAR Nomination.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n


Ian\u2019s most recent Pink Floyd collaboration is a feature-length interpretation of their ultimate album \u201cThe Endless River\u201d, (2021) available in their \u201cLater Years\u201d box set and on Sky Arts.\u00a0
Selected works from Ian\u2019s archives are currently touring the world with the record-breaking \u201cPink Floyd \u2013Their Mortal Remains\u201d Exhibition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
