Journey through the Sea of Life (2005) was produced for the Maui Ocean Center Aquarium. The narrator takes you on an informative walk through the aquarium as the viewer is treated to amazing underwater footage while being educated about the different marine animals in Hawaii, how they got here, and about their habitat. Mike Waltze approached the Aquarium back in 2004 about creating a marketing and advertising tool for them that would not only pay for itself, but eventually make money. This DVD, sold in their retail store, has become an enjoyment for their clients, and an asset for their company, not only paying for itself, but becoming a profitable product while promoting their business.
