Why Blue Ocean Productions is the Best Video Production Company in Ventura, CA
If you’re looking for the best video production company in Ventura, CA — one that understands your brand, captures your vision, and delivers results — look no further than Blue Ocean Productions.
We’re proud to be the number one-rated video production company in Ventura, and we’ve earned that reputation by consistently delivering powerful, high-quality videos that help businesses grow and connect with their audience.
Here are 10 reasons why we stand out from the crowd:
1. Local Expertise with a Global Perspective
Ventura is our home — we know the businesses, the community, and the culture. But we bring a level of production value and creativity that rivals top studios in Los Angeles or New York. Our work is rooted locally, but built to compete anywhere.
2. Award-Winning Director of Photography
At the helm is Director of Photography Jim Knowlton, whose decades of experience behind the camera ensure every shot is purposeful, cinematic, and professionally executed. Whether it’s a brand video, interview, or product demo, you’re in expert hands.
3. Drone Cinematography That Elevates Your Story
We’re FAA-certified drone operators with a deep portfolio of stunning aerial shots. Whether you need breathtaking landscape footage, dynamic real estate visuals, or dramatic reveal shots for your brand, we capture perspectives that take your video to the next level.
Why Our Drone Services Go Above and Beyond
A big advantage we have with serving people who want drone services in our area is that we know how to get authorization to fly from the FAA. Ventura County is unique because we have three airports all within 5 miles of each other:
- Oxnard Airport
- Camarillo Airport
- Point Mugu Naval Base
FAA regulations state you can’t fly a drone within 5 miles of an airport without authorization. We have the expertise to apply for and secure these authorizations, ensuring your footage is both legal and safe.
With over 20 years of business in Ventura, we know the region extremely well, and that helps us capture the best possible images. Plus, our founder Jim Knowlton brings experience from years in the TV industry — creating shows for Discovery Channel, National Geographic, and PBS — ensuring your aerial footage is cinematic, beautifully lit, and expertly composed.
We’re also specialists in ocean drone flying. As a member of the Large Whale Entanglement Response Team serving the Channel Islands region, we have extensive experience flying over water—something few drone pilots are comfortable doing.
We’ve even assisted with search and rescue missions, using drones to help locate lost dogs and guide their owners to a happy reunion.

5. Experts in Corporate Branding Videos
We specialize in short, impactful videos that help businesses communicate who they are, what they offer, and why they matter. These are the videos that help you build trust, stand out, and convert viewers into customers.
6. Top-Tier Equipment and Technology
