FlickerLab Gets Heart Smart
The American Heart Association is dishing out healthy eating facts by way of a Flash animated short. The Bad Fat Brothers was conceived by the DC-based ad agency Porter Novelli, and they handed over the script to FlickerLab, who brought it life.
The New York animation and design studio utilized Flash, Photoshop and After Effects, and Apple Final Cut Pro in producing this short about the pitfalls of eating trans fats and saturated fats.
The Flash animation team included Nikolay Nachev, Phil Lockerby, Nicholas Bertonazzi, Frank Digregorio, Anand Nunnally-Duncan, Simon Ampel, Tom Smolenski and Chris Siemasko.
Siemasko has been mentioned several times here before, and most recently as the co-creator of My Adventures With Cloe. Smolenski is no stranger to CHF either, having been mentioned for his animation work on Pale Force. Ampel animated on Queer Duck: The Movie.

I love the simple shadows on their faces, it gives them a lot of depth. I am sure their skin color is based on the fact that most of the foods full of “TRANS” and “SAT” are biege. Other than that, thanks for reminding me to lose weight before my 20 year reunion. Good Job guys.
