Black Diamond Productions

Founded in Santa Barbara in 1991, Black Diamond Productions has spent more than three decades producing videos, commercials, TV programs and documentaries for clients across healthcare, technology, entertainment and the not-for-profit sector. Biotechnology, medical device and healthcare companies make up a core part of the client roster, with names like Amgen, Baxter, Bioness and Medtronic among those the company has produced work for. The agency has also served as a Microsoft vendor for over ten years, and businesses and ad agencies alike turn to it as a go-to production partner rather than building projects in-house.

Work spans the full production pipeline: directing, shooting, editing, graphics and animation. Julie Ross works as director, DP and editor, while Adam Ross produces, giving projects a small, consistent creative team from concept through delivery. Coverage areas include healthcare and corporate/technology commercials, not-for-profit and public service pieces, and television and entertainment projects, reflecting a client base that ranges from pharmaceutical firms to community organizations.

Beyond commercials and corporate videos, Black Diamond Productions directs and edits TV shows and pilots, documentaries and biographies, along with videos built for theme parks, museums, kiosks and sporting events. Not-for-profit organizations rely on the company for community outreach, education and fundraising videos, while ad agencies and businesses bring in the team for TV and web commercials and infomercials. That range, from broadcast pilots to museum kiosk content, points to a production house built to handle varied formats rather than a single type of video.
