Luxury Yacht & Watercraft Video Production in Newport Beach
500+ PRODUCTIONS · 22 YEARS IN NEWPORT BEACH · FAA PART 107 CERTIFIED · RED & ARRI CINEMA CAMERAS
A yacht does not sell on a spec sheet. It sells on the moment somebody imagines themselves at the helm, coming out of the harbour at six in the morning. Our job is to build that moment and make it credible.
Hilo Motion Pictures produces cinematic yacht and marine video out of Newport Beach for builders, brokerages, charter operators and marine brands. Chase-boat cinematography at speed. FAA-certified aerial over open water. Hyperlapse harbour sequences. Interior, galley and stateroom detail. Helm-level owner perspective. Newport Harbour, Dana Point, Huntington Harbour, Catalina crossings and offshore.
NEWPORT BEACH - MIAMI - LOS ANGELES - SAN DIEGO
Built for Brokers, Builders and Charter Operators
Brokerage listing films that travel, delivered as a hero cut for the listing, verticals for social, and a short teaser for paid. Builder brand film for boat shows and dealer networks, cut to work on a show floor with no audio. Charter marketing that sells the day on the water rather than the vessel specification.
We hold marine liability coverage and we build a run sheet with your captain and crew before anyone leaves the dock, so the shoot day is a schedule rather than an improvisation. On a moving boat with a weather window, that is the difference between a finished film and a day of expensive footage nobody can use..
Newport harbor, Dana Point and Open Water
Marine work is decided by conditions, not by calendar. Wind builds through the afternoon in Newport Harbour, the light off the water changes by the minute, and a weather window that looked fine on Tuesday can close by Thursday. We build the run sheet around that rather than against it.
We shoot Newport Harbour, Dana Point, Huntington Harbour, Catalina crossings and offshore. Chase boat rather than shooting a moving vessel from land, marine liability coverage in hand, and a plan agreed with your captain before anyone leaves the dock.

The Technicolor Grade
Serving Orange County, Including Newport Beach, Irvine, Laguna Beach & Beyond
Our colour grading uses techniques passed down from Technicolor Hollywood — training that came out of the original Wizard of Oz process. It is the reason our footage does not look like everyone else's.
Grading is where a film separates from footage. We finish in-house on calibrated monitoring, so the look holds across every deliverable and every future project.
Selected Work
Mag Bay Yachts 33 — Newport Beach to Miami
Mag Bay was founded in 2014 by Mike and Barrett Howarth, the Newport Beach family who co-founded Cabo Yachts in 1991. The 33 Center Console was their inaugural model — a Michael Peters hull built, in Barrett's words, as “a boat of details, where we focus on building everything, even the smallest items, to the highest craftsmanship standards possible.”
We shot it across two coasts. Quadcopter aerials at 4.5K, long cinema lens work from the ground in Newport Beach, and a second unit across locations in Miami. Captured in 4.5K, 5K and 4K, mastered to 1080. A builder that obsessive about finish does not hand the camera to just anyone.
