Video production in Abu Dhabi & the UAE

Video production in Abu Dhabi: brand films, scripted spots, event coverage, podcasts and social video, written, shot and edited by one team in our own studio or on location across the UAE.

Video production in Abu Dhabi

Video made to be watched, not just delivered.

Video production is often split three ways: a creative agency writes it, a production house shoots it, and an editor somewhere else cuts it, and the idea gets thinner at every handover. At Evo Media Pro the writers, directors, camera crew and editors are one team, working from our own studio in Abu Dhabi and on location across the UAE.

That team sits beside the people who will run the finished video as ads and measure what it does. So every video production we take on is planned for where it will be seen, cut for each platform, subtitled as standard, and judged by whether people watch it, not by whether it was delivered on time.

Why Evo Media Pro

One team from script to screen, with its own studio.

A video is only as strong as its weakest handover. Our video production team writes, directs, shoots and edits under one roof, so the idea you approve at the treatment is the one that reaches the screen.

  • Our own studio

    Green screen, a white cyclorama and interview sets we control, so the shoot runs to the plan rather than a venue's diary.

  • Written, shot and edited in-house

    One team from treatment to final grade: nothing lost between suppliers.

  • Made for where it runs

    Vertical, square and widescreen cuts planned at the brief, not cropped afterwards.

  • Built to perform

    Our performance marketing team runs the video as ads and measures what it does.

Our work

A scripted spot, a gym film, a creator drive and a studio performance.

A scripted vehicle spot moving from an office scene to a presenter on green screen and a desert road; a gym brand film cut to the pace of the training floor; a vehicle film with a creator walking to the car on a desert road; and a dance performance on our white cyclorama. Four briefs, four styles, one video production team.

Events, launches and retail

Event coverage people watch after the event.

Exhibitions, launches and store openings happen once. We cover them with a crew that knows what the social edit will need, so the footage becomes content for weeks instead of a folder nobody opens.

  • Coverage that tells the story

    Stands, speakers, products and people, shot with the final edit already in mind.

  • Interviews on the floor

    Short conversations with visitors and hosts, recorded clean amid the noise.

  • Social edits, fast

    Short cuts delivered while the event is still being talked about.

  • Locations scouted and set

    Camera positions framed and tested before the doors open.

  • Trade exhibition coverage

Our work

An exhibition floor, a store opening and a location set-up.

Coverage of an exhibition hall, with stands, delegates and products being handled and shown to visitors; a sportswear store opening, from the ribbon cut in confetti to the shoe wall; and a camera on a fluid head framing up outside a restaurant before a location shoot.

Podcasts and shows

Podcasts and shows, produced end to end.

A video podcast or show gives a brand minutes of attention instead of seconds. We design the set, rig the cameras and microphones, record the episode, and cut it into the full show, the clips and the promos.

  • Set design

    Sets built for the show's character, from a majlis to a cafe lounge.

  • Multi-camera recording

    Several angles and clean sound, so the edit has somewhere to go.

  • Clips for social

    The strongest moments cut vertical, subtitled and ready to post.

  • Promos and titles

    Trailers and title cards that make the next episode worth waiting for.

  • Podcast episode promo

Our work

A majlis set, a cafe lounge and a morning show.

A podcast episode recorded on a set dressed as a majlis, with microphones, a laptop and a phone on a tripod; a podcast recorded on location in a cafe lounge; and a promo for a morning show, cut from studio footage with titles naming its presenters and the show.

The studio

A video production studio we control.

Owning the studio changes what a shoot day can be. There is no waiting for a venue, no fighting the light and no compromise on sound: interviews, product, green screen and performance are shot in a space set up for exactly that.

  • Green screen

    For presenters, product and scripted scenes placed anywhere in post.

  • Interview sets

    Lit and dressed sets for interviews, panels and talking heads.

  • White cyclorama

    A seamless white stage for performance, fashion and product.

  • Lighting and sound

    Our own lights, softboxes and microphones, set before you arrive.

The studio

Green screen, interview set and lighting, ready to shoot.

The green screen with its chairs, softboxes and flag panel, and the interview set under magenta light with director's chairs and a cinema camera, seen close and wide. This is where our studio video production happens, in Abu Dhabi.

Made for social

Shot for the feed, not resized for it.

More and more video is watched vertically, on a phone, often with the sound off. Our video production plans for that from the first sketch, so every shoot delivers the formats and the moments each platform rewards.

  • Vertical from the start

    Framed for the phone on the day, not cropped from a widescreen master.

  • A hook in the first second

    Openings planned so viewers stay past the first swipe.

  • Subtitled as standard

    Captions on every cut, in the languages your audience reads.

  • Cutdowns from every shoot

    One shoot, many edits: the film, the short cuts and the stories.

Video that performs

Made to run as ads, and measured.

A video's work starts when it is published. Because our performance marketing team sits beside our video production team, the edits you need for advertising are planned at the brief and measured once they run.

  • Ad cuts and variants

    Short versions and alternative openings for testing on Meta, TikTok and YouTube.

  • Hooks that are tested

    Different first seconds compared, so the budget follows the one that holds attention.

  • Tracking in place

    Views, clicks and enquiries measured, not guessed.

  • Reports that feed the next shoot

    What held attention and what did not, written into the next brief.

Studio, creators and media

Everything a video needs, under one roof.

Evo Media Pro brings together what video production usually buys from several suppliers: our own studio, a creator roster when the brief needs a face, designers for titles and motion graphics, and a performance marketing team to put the finished video in front of the right people.

Questions

Video production, answered.

What does a video production company do?

It turns an idea into finished video: the concept and script, the shoot with crew, lighting and sound, and the edit, colour grade and sound mix. At Evo Media Pro all of that happens in one team, in our own studio in Abu Dhabi or on location, together with the cuts each platform needs.

How is Evo different from other video production companies in Abu Dhabi?

Three things. We own our studio, with green screen, a white cyclorama and interview sets, so shoot days run to plan. The same team writes, shoots, edits and grades, so nothing is lost between suppliers. And our performance marketing team runs the finished video as ads and measures it, so the work is judged on whether people watch it.

How do I choose the best video production company in Abu Dhabi?

Watch the work, then ask how it was made. A strong video production company can show films across different kinds of brief, controls its own studio, writes as well as shoots, delivers vertical and subtitled cuts as standard, and can tell you how the video will be distributed and measured. Evo Media Pro does all of that in-house, and the clips on this page are there so you can judge it.

How much does video production cost in the UAE?

It depends on the concept, the shoot days, the crew, talent and locations, and the number of cuts. We quote after the brief, once the treatment is clear, so you know the full cost before anything is booked.

How long does a video take to produce?

A short social cut from a studio day moves much faster than a scripted film with several locations. The proposal sets out each stage, from script approval to final delivery, before work starts.

Can you film with a presenter or a creator?

Yes. We can cast a presenter, or bring in a creator from the roster we represent when the brief needs a face the audience already trusts. See creator campaigns.

Can you shoot on location rather than in the studio?

Yes. The studio is for work that benefits from control: interviews, product, green screen. Location shoots happen wherever the story is.

Do you write the script as well?

Usually. Concept and script are part of the process and are approved before production starts, so there are no surprises on shoot day.
