Wieden+Kennedy (Portland), director Martin de Thurah of Epoch Films and The Mill present 'If You're Happy' for Weight Watchers - just in time for the food-filled festive season.
Acknowledging that losing weight isn't easy to the tune of 'If You're Happy and You Know It,' the spot is a hopeful look at tackling our complex and emotional relationship with food. Fergus McCall, head of color in our New York studio, graded the spot so as not to interfere with the natural humor of the copy.

McCall comments: "Really this piece was all about a lightness of touch and making sure that there was no 'look at me' color correction getting in the way of the humor and humanity of this important launch anthem for Weight Watchers.
"All clients were at our LA studio, with me in New York working via the T-VIPS virtual link. It's always a bonus to have the director involved during the session and have he and the agency working in harmony. It makes my job a good deal easier and generally makes for a better looking spot - amen!"
