The Descendants came up at a time when I had been on hiatus from the film industry. The film was done and Alexander asked me to create the art for the map animation. That task led to doing the opening and end title animations. The art for the title ultimately became the art for the marketing package.  I wanted to create a smooth, meandering look for the titles. I decided on a graphic expression of hibiscus flowers floating by.  It often took hours to render the animations which led to long days in front of the screen. But it was worth the effort. The film was highly successful and won several awards. It also reignited my desire to do film.
