<br />
Happy to announce a <a href="http://www.kevin-andrus.com/" target="_blank">new website</a> that will bring together my animation, photography, and blog posts. Is now live! Been meaning to have a single space where all these topics could come together in (<i>what I hope</i>) is an easy and fun to navigate space.<br />

Its been an intense year for sure. It will be tough to recap it all in one post. But here we go!<br /><br />Work has been a whirl wind! Wrapped Madagascar 3, then over to Rise of the Guardians, then to Turbo! Its been a fun challenge trying to get a hold of each film's style. Approaching my seven year anniversary at DWA is a little unreal. Time is flying! I'm grateful being able to learn and grow with this animation department. So much talent across the campuses. Cannot wait for next years challenges for us to tackle! <br clear="all" /><br />In March Lindsay and I took a trip to New York City. While we were there we went to a show we had heard a lot about called Sleep No More. It was a sort of interactive play where you could freely walk around a 5 story warehouse and follow actors to get the story. It was amazingly detailed and really a great experience. We also scored tickets to see The Daily Show with guest Will Ferrell! It was really fun and despite having to wait in line for hours the filming only takes about 30-45 minutes.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Lindsay surprised me with a trip to Yosemite for my 30th. We hope to get back soon, the trails are nice and the landscape is cinematic. Huge granite walls rising up above the valley floors and water falls cascading down in almost every corner. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Started teaching. Getting to interact with the students from Animation Mentor and Texas A&M has been extremely rewarding! Lindsay and I sure had some steep learning curves and nervous nights finding our way as instructors but, its been worth it. I was able to be part of Texas A&M and DreamWorks Animation's Outreach summer program. Being back in a computer lab where the students eat, slept, and breathed their short films was inspiring. (Brought me back to the days being in the Ringling's labs!) Was only there for a week but we covered enough material for an entire semester :) I'm just happy they didn't throw old cupcakes and gumdrops at me during the lectures. </span><br />

We had many close friends get married, or start families this year. Its exciting to see everyone moving into these new chapters in their lives. We wish them all the best in the coming years :) One such wedding was of my best friend Joachim and Lilian. This had Lindsay and I traveling over to France and s<span style="font-family: inherit;">pending several days with Joachim and Lilian's </span>familes<span style="font-family: inherit;">. We were given a nice look into everyday living in and around Beauvais. The food was earth shakingly good. With Joachim's Aunt preparing Cassoulet that is now in my top 3 meals ever </span>partaken<span style="font-family: inherit;">. Even as we ventured down into Paris all the pastries shops, museums, etc were stunning. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">From France we traveled down to Africa for a safari! We lucked out by having a awesome tour group that clicked on day one! Getting perspectives on life from Holland to New Zealand was hands down one of the most rewarding parts of the trip for me. Of course seeing Lindsay with a smile, ear to ear as we had some nice luck spotting animals in fantastic numbers for that time of year. </span><br />

Still crazy to think that my involvement on the film lasted a little over two years. But, along the way had the pleasure of working with amazing talent every step of the way. Can not put into words how inspiring and rewarding it is to be a part of the animation department at PDI/DreamWorks Animation. Congrats to all the other departments for creating such stunning work. Now onto the next show :)<br />

<br />
Its been awhile since the last update on the blog. The main reason was some heavy crunch that hit for finishing up Madagascar 3. Now that I'm transition to a new show. I'm starting to get back into drawing more during my free time. Below are some figure gestures ranging from one to two minutes. Hoping to get some photography going again soon as well.<br />

Here we go! A new year ahead and lots of things to look forward to. Overtime is kicking into high gear at work, so usually that means less and less photography time. Managed to grab this image while walking back from the gym.<br />
<br />
Thinking of doing some small studio setups at home. To help vary the content, and give everyone a break from landscape photography. Sketching up some ideas and will start shooting in the next couple weeks.| andrus |http://www.blogger.com/profile/07929844564213643713noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27435917.post-11713966090065744392011-12-11T20:19:00.001-08:002011-12-24T12:57:26.220-08:002011 coming to a close<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;">2011 is coming to a close. You can usually read here how fast the year has past, and how busy things have been. That hasn't changed, if anything those two dials have been turned up yet another notch for 2011. But am very grateful to have had this year's journey. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;">For one, Lindsay and I were able to have a wonderful wedding with family and friends in San Francisco! A day we both will look back at with big smiles on our faces. Grateful for another year of growing and learning as animators at the studios. Being a part of these animation teams mean so much to Lindsay and I.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;">DreamWorks provided a great volunteer program through the Second Harvest Food Bank in San mateo county. It has become an extremely rewarding adventure to take part in. Each time we attend, the staff at the Food Bank tell us just how many meals have been getting to the local family's in our communities. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;">As we all have so much to be grateful for, its wonderful to take a moment and give back to those who could use a smile, a meal, a helping hand, or just someone to listen to. Below are a few links that have been great resources to Lindsay and I over the years. Giving abit of time or money can help make those smiles appear, fill an empty stomach, and help to provide some shelter </span><br />

Just finished up printing/framing the set of photo's for a group photography show taking place at DreamWorks Animation on December 15th. <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/onuryeldan/">Onur Yeldan</a>, <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/adamdotson/">Adam Dotson</a> (<i>Two awesome animators down at the Glendale Campus</i>) and myself did a gallery show a few years ago and had alot of fun putting it together. Its great that the studio allows it's artists to put up small gallery shows in different locations across their campus's. Can't wait to see the guys prints all framed up!<br />
<br />
Now the hard part comes into play...shipping... Need to get these prints down to the guys in one piece :)<br />
<br />
Also, Squeak decided to help out abit. He was making sure those pictures wouldn't fall over while getting this shot. He is good like that.| andrus |http://www.blogger.com/profile/07929844564213643713noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27435917.post-28042691074271955722011-11-09T08:29:00.000-08:002011-11-09T08:30:07.006-08:00Catching Fire<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

Taken last Saturday morning on the bay in Foster City. I was hoping that the added moisture in the air would help catch some light. But, I didn't expect what was about to happen. Just before the sun started to break the horizon, a sliver of orange started to form. Over the course of 4 to 5 minutes the light started to roll over the cloud bands! Almost as if fire was rolling along the sky between the ground and the cloud ceiling above. Then as quickly as the light advanced it pulled back extinguishing the oranges as the sun broke the horizon.<br />
<br />
Needless to say I had to work fast and metering off the changing light was tough. Its always fun setting up in the early morning waiting for the light to put on a show. Looking forward to some more shoots around the bay as winter sets in up here.<br />
<br />

Woke up early on Saturday to try my hand at some photography with the passing rain storms we have been getting. Luckily the rain stopped as I walked out to the shore line and was able to find a setup. Once the light started to break, it was quick! Only had a good 3-4 minutes with the light getting caught up in cloud bands running over the bay. Will be processing one more exposure from that morning's shoot. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Now that winter seems to be setting in I hope to get out and do more shooting. Really enjoy walking out to crisp air and heavy clouds. Work is ramping up alot, but we did just hit a mile stone on Madagascar 3, 50%!!! Time is really flying these days, and can't believe we are in November now.</div>| andrus |http://www.blogger.com/profile/07929844564213643713noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27435917.post-74834214703600638172011-11-04T23:37:00.000-07:002011-11-06T16:14:18.679-08:00Morning Walk<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

Taken while on a morning walk near Poipu Beach. Kinda missed the real light show that morning, and found this composition after it started to fade. Next time I need to set the alarm earlier!<br />

We are now starting to get some rain in the bay area so I'm hoping to get out and do some shooting this weekend around the water. Hope everyone has a nice weekend.<br />

Lindsay and I stopped by this waterfall just outside of Hilo one morning. Its amazing just how many of these breathtaking sites are just up the road or off a trail in Hilo. There were some cool trails that lead upstream from the waterfall to rock pools. But the mosquitos were winning out and we had to retreat.<br />
<br />
Was hoping to get to this location early to catch some morning light but we got side tracked with some food. Easy to do when in Hawaii :)| andrus |http://www.blogger.com/profile/07929844564213643713noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27435917.post-17507737847047204102011-09-12T21:43:00.000-07:002011-09-12T21:45:08.130-07:00Black SandOn our Hilo Volcano Tour, we were able to stop off at a Black Sand Beach! Really amazing, hardly anyone was around, and had a moment to just relax. Which was a nice break after a day of running around site seeing. Really wish I had the tripod on me... Had to bracket the exposures by hand.<br />

The crew were awesome, and they did a good job of passing out the food (which was great!) and giving us insight into coast line. A must do if you find yourself on Kauai.<br />

Going to be working on the next photo tonight. Looking at one of the shots I took of the black sand beach we visited!<br />

Such a great location to take in the morning, your able to watch the tide smash into the coastline. Just at the break you can watch Sea Turtles come up for air, then dive down to feed.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This exposure is made up of two shots. One exposure was balanced for the ground and sea. While the other was balanced for the sky. It was tough getting a single exposure to balance all those elements in one go. I had my Cokin Filters but it just wasn't balancing it well and the extra filter in front of the lens added extra flare. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Hope you enjoy the shot :)<br />

Lindsay and I got back recently from our trip to Big Island and Kauai! Words and pictures cannot express just how amazing these two locations are. The people, the food, and most importantly the islands themselves. We had the great fortune to meet up with amazing guides who gave us a glimpse into local lifestyles and historical facts. All which were captivating. </div>

Not only are many of the photo's great but the "Cinemagraphs" stopped me dead in my tracks!</div><div><br />
</div><div>A cinemagraph is a great way to highlight a moment. They are highly polished animated GIF's, that really give a nice extended tone. So needless to say I jumped into action to try this out. Granted my first take is very tame compared to their much more complex and interesting executions. Below is a quick moment of our cats resting with the morning bay breeze coming in through the blinds. If you watch the image closely you will see the slight movement at the window while the rest of the moment is frozen in time.<br />
