How it was made.
The brief was the question, in the Risograph look set for the series. The director treated the card as a bill: what it costs the team depends on the minute.
One number carries it: in Dutch league games the full side scored 88% more often. It cost $4.92 of model spend to make.
Every film on explain.film is made the same way: one sentence in, a storyboard you approve, then the director paints, voices, scores and animates it, and a critic model grades the cut before you see it.
Transcript
- A red card takes a second to show, and the rest of the match to pay for.
- The player leaves, and no substitute may take his place.
- So his team plays on with ten, and the match tilts.
- In Dutch league games, the full side scored eighty-eight percent more often.
- Which makes a red card less a punishment than a price, set by the clock.
- Sent off early, your team pays for eighty minutes.
- Late on, the bill shrinks to almost nothing.
- Past the seventieth minute, fouling a player clean through on goal can cost less than conceding.
- Then comes the second bill: a ban, usually one to three matches.
- He walks off once, and keeps paying for weeks.
