At a moment's notice, we are ready and able to take advantage of California's wildlife.   

As climate change continues to shift animal migration patterns, wildlife has become more difficult to predict.  With a network of researchers, expedition leaders, captains and scientists, Diatom Studios is in tune with our environment - so we can be there when the moment happens.

Broadcast ready.

Diatom Studios owns and services a full suite of in-house production gear, allowing us to constantly tinker and perfect our craft.

We primarily shoot on RED Epics, and use the Inspire 2 in the air.  For underwater work, we trust the GATES Deep Epic underwater housing to get the RED in the oceans

Diatom: The Cineboat

This 30ft vessel is a true workhorse for ocean film making. Its large deck and tall tower make it ideal for spotting and filming wildlife in all conditions. Our extensive local knowledge of the area makes it an excellent day boat for California coastal, and channel islands expeditions.
