The Saltmarsh idea came from a few glimpses of what wild Florida must have been.  The above movie shows the first 6 completed shots edited into the title sequence.  I set out to make this a very traditional production compared to my last project.  I still packed a lot into these shots.  Watch this several times to see all the animated detail.  My calligraphy for the title is another example of detail.  With an Italian influence, it's a Spanish Papal chancery hand from the mid 16th century, which relates to the story.
