What’s Making You Fat and I’m Fat Again

AlphaDogs’ contribution on these two Best LifeTM specials spanned Graphics, Online, and Audio.

"What’s Making You Fat" counters the widespread misinformation currently confusing the
public about effective fitness and weight loss. In this Discovery Studios production, Bob Greene looks back at his career and counts down his personal Top 10 Diet and Exercise Myths, busting each one.

I'm Fat Again"I’m Fat Again" focused on yo-yo dieting, following the progress of several men and women who were trying to lose weight. As such, the main title design had to touch on both the personal stories of these people as well as the general concept of people who seesaw from weight loss to weight gain.

"I settled on a design incorporating a moving video wall of dozens of panels mixing clips from the show with stock images relating to healthy and unhealthy lifestyles. The trick was to find a balance that didn’t emphasize any one person from the show, and that stayed general enough for the audience to identify with and specific enough to tie into the participants’ personal stories. All of this and an animated logo within 6 seconds! Luckily I’ve known Discovery post-production supervisor Kristin Means a long time, which really helped streamline the design process for me."

AlphaDogs VP Design, Sean Williams

 

whats making you fatGraphics for "What’s Making You Fat: A Best Life Special," included a main title, a pop-up for dieting facts, a myth countdown, and multiple-choice quizzes that revealed surprising truths about common dieting myths. All were created by Senior Designer Russell Frazier of AlphaDogs. 

"The show deals with a very serious topic for many people. The use of graphics helped keep it lively and educational, without detracting from the dramatic personal stories of the cast."

The specials were produced by Discovery Studios for Discovery Health. Wendy Douglas was the executive producer of both specials for Discovery Health, and Maggie Friedman was the producer for Discovery Studios. For AlphaDogs, Terence Curren did the Online, Marcus Pardo contributed the Audio post, while Graphics were created by Sean Williams and Russell Frazier.

    Hi, nice clause. Just add few mentions. Low fat begins with checking labels and staving off boiled foods. You can eat lean nubs like chicken, pork and even lean steak like sirloin. Lots of fruits and veggies…..salads, but you have to catch the dressing. Bindings can have a ton of fat. There are much of matters that you can take….just interpreted your labels and prepare with green oil. Also, don’t think of it as a dieting…think of it as a life trend commute. You can still eat “bad stuff” once in a while, as long as you commonly eat low fat diets and healthy one.

I also have a blog and am really looking to alter around the theme, however am scared to death to mess with it for fear of the search engines punishing me. I am very new to all of this …so i am just not positive exactly how to try to to it all yet. I’ll just keep working on it one day at a time :) Thanks for any help you can offer here.

    I can’t stand Justin. Perhaps its the proven fact that he is twelve and has little talent and he’s wealthy. I don’t know, it makes me loony to think that so many teens are obsessed with him.
