Ranging from complex multi-plane animations to beautifully choreographed scenes shot in carefully crafted sets, Sean Pecknold’s filmmaking work is a meticulous craft with a uniquely artisanal, material quality.

Sean is a long time collaborator of various indie-rock bands, including Fleet Foxes (led by his brother Robin Pecknold), as well as a prolific film director whose latest stop-motion short, “Tennis, Oranges” premiered worldwide at SXSW Film Festival, and whose first feature length film is in the works.

In this new episode of Director ID, the Seattle raised and LA based filmmaker told us about a few of his incursions into music video making, as well as some of his film work outside the realm of music.
