We produce television commercials for broadcast and digital distribution, brand films that communicate company vision and values, product launch videos that generate demand, event coverage that captures moments worth preserving, and documentary content that tells stories with depth and craft. Every project begins with strategic clarity about what the video needs to accomplish, followed by creative development that makes the concept compelling, then production execution that brings it to life at the quality level the brief demands.

How Our Production Agency Works in UAE

Our production process transforms briefs into broadcast-ready video through a structured methodology refined across hundreds of projects. We follow clear phases from concept through delivery, with defined milestones and approval points that keep projects on track and on budget. This process applies whether you need a single commercial or an ongoing content production partnership.

1

Creative Brief and Concept

We begin with deep understanding of your objectives, audience, and brand positioning. From this foundation we develop creative concepts that communicate your message with impact. You receive treatment documents outlining visual approach, narrative structure, and tone before any production commitment.

2

Script and Storyboard Development

Approved concepts move into detailed script and storyboard development. We map every shot, define dialogue and voiceover, and visualize the final product frame by frame. This phase eliminates surprises during production and ensures alignment on creative direction before cameras roll.

3

Pre-Production Planning

Our production team handles all logistics including location scouting and permitting across Dubai and Abu Dhabi, talent casting, crew assembly, equipment specification, and scheduling. You receive detailed production plans with timelines, call sheets, and budget breakdowns for full visibility.

4

Principal Photography

Filming executes against approved storyboards with professional crew, cinema-grade equipment, and experienced direction. We manage on-set operations, talent direction, and technical execution while keeping you informed of progress. Daily reviews ensure footage meets quality standards before wrap.

5

Post-Production and Edit

Raw footage transforms into polished video through editing, color grading, sound design, motion graphics, and visual effects as required. You receive rough cuts for feedback, with revisions incorporated through structured review cycles until the final cut meets approval.

6

Delivery and Distribution

Final videos are delivered in all formats required for your distribution channels, from broadcast specifications to social platform optimization. We provide master files, compressed versions, cutdowns, and aspect ratio variants. Project archives are maintained for future use and adaptation.

Frequently Asked Questions About Video Production in UAE

Before starting a project with CR8V, clients often ask how we work, who we are, and what makes us different. From our UAE-based creative teams to our international offices and AI-enhanced workflow, here are answers to the most common questions about collaborating with our agency.

We produce the full spectrum of video content including television commercials, brand films, corporate videos, product launch content, event coverage, documentaries, social media video series, and explainer videos. Each production type follows our structured process from concept through delivery, scaled appropriately to project scope. Whether you need a thirty-second commercial or a thirty-minute documentary, we handle creative development, filming, and post-production under one roof.

Timeline depends on project complexity. A social media video series can be delivered in two to three weeks. Corporate videos and brand films typically require four to six weeks from brief to final delivery. Television commercials with talent, multiple locations, and complex post-production need six to eight weeks. Documentaries involving interviews and archival research may extend to twelve weeks or more. We provide detailed timelines during the proposal phase based on your specific requirements.

Production costs vary significantly based on scope, quality level, and deliverables. Social content videos start around fifteen thousand dirhams. Corporate videos and brand films typically range from fifty thousand to one hundred fifty thousand dirhams. Television commercials with professional talent, multiple shoot days, and broadcast-quality post-production can range from one hundred thousand to five hundred thousand dirhams or more. We provide detailed quotes after understanding your specific brief and objectives.

Yes, we manage all production logistics including filming permits, location scouting, and venue coordination across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and other Emirates. Our production team handles DCCA permits for Dubai filming, ADMO permits for Abu Dhabi, and coordinates with property management for private locations. This includes location fees, security requirements, and timing restrictions. Permit timelines vary from three to ten business days depending on location sensitivity.

Absolutely. We frequently produce video content that must align with established brand guidelines, visual identity systems, and predetermined creative direction. You provide brand assets, style guides, and any mandatory elements; we incorporate them into production planning and execution. We can also work with your internal marketing team or existing creative agency, coordinating deliverables and approval workflows to ensure seamless integration with broader campaigns.

Our standard production agreements include two rounds of revisions at rough cut stage and one round at fine cut stage. This structured approach ensures feedback is consolidated and addressed efficiently rather than creating endless revision cycles. Additional revision rounds can be accommodated at agreed rates. We find that thorough pre-production alignment on storyboards and treatments significantly reduces revision needs during post-production.

We provide complete crew as part of our production service. This includes directors, cinematographers, camera operators, sound technicians, gaffers, and production assistants appropriate to project scale. Our core team handles most productions, supplemented by specialized crew for larger shoots. You receive a single point of accountability for the entire production rather than coordinating multiple vendors. Crew details are specified in production plans before filming begins.

We shoot primarily on cinema cameras including RED, ARRI, and Sony Venice systems depending on project requirements and aesthetic goals. Lighting packages range from compact LED setups for documentary work to full grip and electric packages for commercial productions. Audio capture uses professional wireless systems and boom recording. Specific equipment is selected based on your project needs, shooting conditions, and final delivery specifications.

Yes, we produce platform-optimized content designed for social media distribution. This includes vertical formats for Instagram Stories and TikTok, square formats for feed posts, and horizontal formats for YouTube. We deliver multiple aspect ratio versions from single shoots, create cutdowns of varying lengths for different placements, and optimize file formats for each platform. Social content can be produced as standalone projects or extracted from larger commercial productions.

To develop an accurate quote we need your video objectives and intended use, target audience, desired length and format, any mandatory brand elements or messaging, preferred timeline and deadline, distribution channels, and budget parameters if established. Reference videos showing styles you like are helpful. A thirty-minute discovery call typically covers these points, after which we deliver a detailed proposal within five business days including creative approach, production plan, and investment breakdown.
