The problem

Most Dubai video budgets buy one film and no distribution

A single expensive brand film, delivered in landscape, posted once, and never cut down for the feeds where the audience actually is. It is the most common way a production budget disappears.

One film you cannot distribute is worth less than ten cutdowns you can

  1. The format is decided after the shoot

    Shot in landscape because that is how cameras are pointed, then awkwardly cropped for vertical feeds afterwards. Framing for the destination costs nothing on the day and cannot be fixed later.

  2. Production is separated from the campaign

    A production company delivers a film and leaves. Nobody planned the cutdowns, the thumbnails, the captions or the paid variants, so the asset runs once and stops.

  3. Nobody plans for volume

    Feeds consume content faster than any single shoot can supply. A day that produces one film is a bad day; a day planned properly produces a film, twenty verticals and a stills library.

What we do

What we shoot and make

Video, motion and photography — each format has its own page.

Capabilities in detail

Formats we produce

Video, motion and stills, with what each is actually for.

Brand films

The anchor asset — planned with its cutdowns from the outset so it does not run once and stop.

Corporate and internal video

Investor updates, recruitment and internal comms, where being understood matters more than being cinematic.

Product video

Demonstration and explanation for products a still image cannot sell.

Social-first vertical video

Shot vertical rather than cropped to it, which is visibly different and the format carrying most organic reach.

2D and 3D animation

For process, data and mechanics — anything that does not exist to be filmed.

Motion graphics and titles

The layer that makes footage feel finished, and often the cheapest quality upgrade available.

eLearning and training video

Structured for completion, chaptered and captioned, because training nobody finishes teaches nothing.

Testimonial and case study video

The most persuasive asset in B2B, and the one most companies never get around to shooting.

Event videography and photography

Same-day or next-day turnaround, because event content dates fast.

Interactive and shoppable video

Branching or in-video purchase, where the product genuinely benefits from exploration.

Corporate and team photography

Consistent portraits across a whole team, shot so new joiners can be matched later.

Product and e-commerce photography

Built around the grid, the crop and the background the store actually uses.

Lifestyle and brand photography

People using the thing, which is what almost every brand library is short of.

Retouching and colour

Consistency across a library shot on different days by different hands.

360° and virtual tours

For clinics, showrooms and property, where understanding the space is the decision.

AI-assisted production

Generative video and imagery where it genuinely reduces cost — and a straight answer about where the output is not usable.

How we work

How a production actually runs

The distribution plan comes before the shoot list, because it changes what gets shot and how it is framed.

Decide the destination first

Which channels, which formats, which aspect ratios and how many assets. That decides the shot list, the framing and the day rate — and it cannot be retrofitted after the crew has gone home.

  • Channels and formats agreed before the shot list
  • Framed for vertical and landscape on the day where both are needed
  • Asset count planned so one day yields a library
  • Scripts and storyboards signed before crew is booked

The unglamorous half

Location, permits, casting, scheduling and the contingency that stops a shoot day collapsing. Dubai filming permissions in particular are a planning problem, not a paperwork afterthought.

  • Permits and locations handled, including free-zone rules
  • Casting and talent releases sorted before the day
  • Realistic schedule with contingency built in
  • Kit specified to the deliverable, not to impress

Efficiently, for volume

A properly planned day produces the hero film and the twenty cutdowns and the stills library, because the setups were designed to serve all three.

  • Multiple deliverables from the same setups
  • Stills captured alongside video where useful
  • Audio treated as seriously as picture
  • Reviewed on set rather than discovered in the edit

Where the value is unlocked

Edit, grade, sound, motion, captions and every cutdown the plan called for — delivered in the specs each platform actually wants.

  • Hero edit plus the full cutdown set
  • Captions and subtitles, including Arabic
  • Delivered in per-platform specs rather than one master
  • Thumbnails and stills packaged with the video

Why us

Why our production goes further

Not better cameras. Better planning — the difference is what you can still do with the footage three months later.

We plan distribution before the shoot

It changes framing, setups and shot count. Retrofitting vertical from landscape is the most common wasted budget in this category.

One day, a library

Setups designed to yield the hero film, the cutdowns and the stills together rather than sequentially.

We build where it lands

We also build the site and run the campaign, so the video arrives somewhere designed for it.

Honest about AI

Generative tooling genuinely cuts cost on some things and produces unusable output on others. We will tell you which is which.

Questions

Video production in Dubai, answered

What clients ask before commissioning a shoot.

A single-day corporate or social shoot commonly runs from around AED 15,000 to AED 35,000 depending on crew, kit and locations. A full brand film with talent, multiple locations and heavy post is materially more. The biggest cost drivers are shoot days, crew size and talent — not camera choice, which is where clients usually expect the money to go.

Plan the distribution before the shot list. A day designed to produce a hero film, twenty vertical cutdowns and a stills library costs marginally more than a day producing one film, and yields months of content instead of one post.

Yes. Filming here requires permits that vary by emirate, location and whether you are in a free zone, and the lead times are real. We plan for them rather than discovering them the week before, which is a common way a shoot date moves.

Two to four weeks from brief to delivery for a straightforward corporate or social shoot; six to twelve for a brand film with scripting, casting and heavy post. The variable that moves it most is approvals, not production.

Yes — post-production, re-edits and cutdowns from an existing library are a large part of what we do. Most companies are sitting on footage that was delivered as one master and never cut for anything else.

Both, framed on the day. Cropping landscape to vertical afterwards is visibly compromised — you lose the composition and usually the subject's head. Framing for both during the shoot costs nothing extra if it is planned.

For some things now — b-roll, backgrounds, concept work, some product motion. Not for anything with a recognisable person, precise brand detail or on-screen text, where it still produces output that will embarrass you. We use it where it saves money and say so where it does not.

Yes, and we have run engagements across the GCC and in Europe. Costs shift with crew travel and local permits, so it is worth planning a regional shoot as one production rather than several.

No questions match — try another search.
