I had made a couple of animated films of rippling water but I had an idea of a landscape painting with water moving in the foreground. The last time I was in New York I had bought a framed photo of a tropical island with a moving light behind that gave the effect of the water shimmering. It also had the sound of waves lapping. It had been tough to carry home and I had never hung it on the wall due to the incompatible electric current. I didn't know if I could draw such a subtle movement as the rippling reflections but I filmed in various directions keeping the rain off the lens
