Atlantic Productions has won a number of awards, including two BAFTA awards for best specialist factual, 11 Emmy awards, two RTS awards and the best 3D award at Jackson Hole and Wildscreen. The company also won the "Best Interactive Media" award at Jackson Hole for the NHM Alive! App.

In 2019, Atlantic Productions was producing a documentary film about a dive to the wreck of the RMS Titanic in August 2019. Specially adapted cameras were used to capture the wreck in 4K resolution for the first time, and dedicated photogrammetry passes were performed to create highly accurate and photoreal 3D models.[1]
