New year, new Appetite! We haven’t posted the entire 2018 but that’s not because we were sleeping. On the contrary – we’ve been busy making the storyboard, beautifully drawn by renowned animator Velislava Gospodinova . We’re looking forward to sharing some of the drawings with you once the process is complete!
The exhibition closed on 28.09.2017 with a bang and a trippy concert by our teaser background animator Michael Schmacke’s band The Fake Masters. Thanks to everyone who supported us and ZeitZone Gallery!
Wow, this was really a great opening! We were blessed with a wonderful audience and all performances were very inspired! Thanks to everyone who came! More photos coming up…If you want to visit the exhibition, it’s open until September 28th. Contact us via our FB page to arrange a private viewing at the Zeitzone Gallery.
Stoked! Velislava Gospodinova, one of the best young animators in Bulgaria, will be doing our storyboard! She is the author of several internationally awarded movies such as “The Lighthouse” and “The Blood.” Check out the trailer for her newest movie, “Firebird”

We just recorded the background theme for APPETITE’s teaser, an improvisation on a famous contemporary composer who will remain a mystery for now. With our star violin player Biliana Voutchkova and sound designer Jonathan Dickens.
This month, we’ve been preparing the animatic for the teaser, doing rough edits of the live footage and finishing the animation set. Here are some pictures of it, as work on it progresses. It will be animated using stopmotion by animator Michael Schmacke and composited with other components to create to world inside the Rabbit’s stomach.
We just shot the live action part of our teaser in a friendly studio in Kreuzberg, Berlin.
On the photo below -the wonderful Appetite CAST and CREW after our teaser shoot this Sunday, November 3rd! ♥
It was a special day – new moon, solar eclipse, Diwali – the Festival of Light in India, retrograde Mercury – time to finish what you started. We sure head a lot of fun during that 12 hour + shooting. Now it’s time to start on the teaser animation and post production… still a long way but we made a big step in the right direction!
