A new song from Fleet Foxes has given Sean Peckold&nbsp;and his partner Adi Goodrich the opportunity to complete a dance trilogy, and reflect upon the emotional impact of the pandemic through choreography.&nbsp;Featuring Jade-Lorna Sullivan (who also featured in the video for <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2017/05/29/fleet-foxes-fools-errand-sean-pecknold/47915" target="_blank">Fool's Errand</a>)&nbsp;and Jean Charles (the lead in the video for song suite <a href="https://www.promonews.tv/videos/2018/09/10/fleet-foxes-i-am-all-i-needarroyo-secothumbprint-scar-sean-pecknold/54934" target="_blank">I Am All That I Need/Arroyo Seco/Thumbprint Scar</a>), with choreography by&nbsp;Steven Reker, this is a dance piece for Can I Believe In You, that takes place in a studio environment of near-abstract theatrical set-ups, designed by Goodrich, that encapsulate the spirit of Fleet Foxes.&nbsp;[imgtoken data:1]This is the tenth video directed by Sean Pecknold for his brother Robin's band - a&nbsp;marvellous addition to&nbsp;a collaboration that began with the videos for the first Fleet Foxes album in 2008, including White Winter Hymnal, and has become a major body of work.

Fleet Foxes 'Can I Believe In You' by Sean Pecknold

Fleet Foxes - Can I Believe You

Sean Pecknold&#39;s&nbsp;ninth video for Fleet Foxes maintains the aura and mystique that has surrounded more or less all his work his brother Robin&#39;s band.This is a surreal narrative, involving a man&#39;s relationship with a large floating red cube, that repeatedly sends him on a journey&nbsp;into the desert, when he touches it. Created for the suite of songs&nbsp;I Am All That I Need/Arroyo Seco/Thumbprint Scar from Fleet Foxes&#39; 2016 album Crack-Up, it&#39;s a prequel (or possibly sequel) to last year&#39;s video for Fool&#39;s Errand, which also explored a natural landscape through human interaction and choreography. The result is equally mesmerizing.&nbsp;As always with Pecknold&#39;s work, the innovations in how the video was created,&nbsp;on a very challenging budget, have played a big part in contributing to that aura and mystique.&nbsp;In this case, he and his partner Adi Goodrich created all the props themselves, including the red cube, in their own studio, and he prepped and acted out every moment of the video before he shot an inch of footage&nbsp;- and this was shot on Kodak 35mm film.&nbsp;&nbsp;The video was co-produced by WeTransfer and there is a long interview with Sean Peckinold about his work with Fleet Foxes on the&nbsp;brand website <a href="https://wepresent.wetransfer.com/story/fleet-foxes-arroyo-seco/" target="_blank">WePresent</a>, featuring contributions from brother Robin and sister Aja (she manages Fleet Foxes). And Sean also sent us this Director&#39;s Statement, specifically about the making of the video for&nbsp;I Am All That I Need/Arroyo Seco/Thumbprint Scar.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Sean Pecknold has collaborated with production designer Adi Goodrich and choreographer Steven Reker on the Fleet Foxes video for Fool&#39;s Errand - the band&#39;s first since 2011 &ndash; and it&#39;s&nbsp;an appropriately beautiful&nbsp;piece to join the impressive body of work&nbsp;he has previously created for his brother Robin&#39;s band.Shot in the spectacular setting of Montana di Oro state park&nbsp;in the Californian coast, with the charismatic Lorna-May Sullivan as the video&#39;s dark central figure, and a squad of other dancers divided into colour coded smaller groups, this is an absorbing visual exercise in enhancing the beauty&nbsp;of the natural world through choreography, wardrobe&nbsp;and art direction.As he explains below, it gave Pecknold the opportunity to shoot 35mm film for the first time, with his regular DoP collaborator&nbsp;Zia Mohajerjasbi. And as with much of Pecknold&#39;s work, the visuals match&nbsp;the music&nbsp;in a way that can be appreciated more with every successive viewing. Richly rewarding.[imgtoken data:1]&nbsp;

Sean Pecknold gives us all a Gold Feeling in this dance fantasy film for Fred Nicolas, aka Golden Suits.The clip sees a young boy try to salvage the remains of a Middle School dance, and win over his dream girl, albeit a little too late. That doesn&#39;t seem to stop him having a good time - with lighthearted, charming choreography melding seamlessly with costume and production design to bring the nostalgic elements of the video to the fore.

Sean Pecknold is a director&nbsp;who makes distinctive work&nbsp;whether he&#39;s working in two-dimensional&nbsp;graphics or live action, involving real people and props. Here he combines both.His&nbsp;delightful&nbsp;visualisation of Nicolas Godin&#39;s Orca closely follows the experimental nature of the music, reflecting how the Air man&#39;s solo project has been influenced by at least two musical movements of the past. And he employs&nbsp;a combination of abstract 2D elements and simple live action set-ups - reminiscent of old educational TV&nbsp;shows &ndash; to match the musical arrangement, which borrows freely from both the tradition we now generally call classical music, and the more recent tradition we now generally call &#39;prog&#39;.The results are an enthrallingly creative&nbsp;introduction to the new Godin album &ndash; which will undoubtedly hold further delights...[imgtoken data:1]
