All the series listed below have aired in more than 30 countries around the world while Eaton's programs with the Kratt Brothers have three times won the “Best Children’s Film” award at the Jackson Hole Wildlife Festival.

Leo Eaton wrote the Secret Voices and Tusked Titans episodes for this multi-part series that follows the world’s most renowned photographers as they scale 100-metre redwood trees, chase fierce thunderstorms for the perfect lightning strike and record endangered cultures before they disappear forever. Whether diving deep in Arctic waters to find a feeding walrus or venturing into a terrorist hothouse where the risk of kidnapping is high, photographers on assignment for National Geographic magazine push their physical abilities, emotional endurance and creative powers to the limit.
