From the archives: the precursor to the LOVE SPORT series of short films, LOVE FOOT BALL was devised by director Grant Orchard as a visual experiment in character reduction. Football is life, and as in life, many things start according to expectation but soon spiral out of hand…
Grant Orchard on how the film came about:
“I started it as an exercise to learn AfterEffects. I kept putting it to one side for all the commercial work that was coming in. I would’ve probably never finished it if Anna from OneDotZero hadn’t gotten in touch to see if I had any work for the upcoming festival. I showed them what I had of Park Foot Ball, which was about 2/3rds of it, and they encouraged me to finish it. So it wasn’t specifically done for onedotzero but it wouldn’t have been done without them.”
