Praise for Norbert Wu's Filming and Books:
Kelly Moran, Line Producer, Original Productions, for Ice Road Truckers:
" ...I must have heard about a million times how great everyone thinks the underwater shots look on Truckers. "
Ted Oakes, Producer, BBC Natural History Unit, for LIFE:
" Thank you for busting a gut on the Weddells. I've seen most of the rushes now and they look great. I really appreciate your effort… a little feedback from editor.

Taking off your hat in that kind of weather is serious business; now think about snapping photos underwater while wearing giant gloves and hundreds of pounds of equipment. Cojones indeed." —Playboy Magazine
