There’s minimalist animation and then there’s Grant Orchard’s work. His short Park Foot Ball (mentioned on the Brew back in 2006 is a masterpiece of graphic clarity and communication. I was pleased to learn in this interview Grant recently did with The Animation Show that Italian broadcaster Qoob has commissioned him to do ten more sports-themed shorts based on the pared-down graphic and aural approach of Park Foot Ball. The first of the ten new “Love Sport” shorts—Paintballing—can be viewed below. I can’t wait for the rest of the series.

As a certain Cannon Fodder theme tune sung:
“War has never been so fun!”

A slice of fried gold on a gold bun with gold squirted all over and a glass of frosty cold gold juice.
