Recommendations from clients:
"The footage is more than impressive-but your stuff has always been. That spooky shot of the ship in the distant haze moving silently through the frozen seascape....the whole works logged now for posterity when we get it put together in a 20/20 feature that will be remembered moree even than the South Pole Piece. Great work!"
