YAS ISLAND

VIDEO PRODUCTION ON YAS ISLAND

Etihad Arena. Yas Marina Circuit. Abu Dhabi's entertainment engine.

Yas Island is the UAE's densest concentration of large-scale entertainment infrastructure: Yas Marina Circuit and the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, Etihad Arena, Ferrari World, Warner Bros. World, Yas Waterworld, SeaWorld Abu Dhabi, Yas Mall and a full strip of hotels built to service them.

That makes it an events district first and foremost. Backyard Studio Official covers Yas Island for conference and exhibition coverage at Etihad Arena and the hotel ballrooms, motorsport and track content at Yas Marina Circuit, hospitality and F&B content across the island's hotels, and brand activations at the theme parks and Yas Bay waterfront.

Yas is also the most access-controlled district we work in. Every venue here — circuit, arena, parks, hotels — is a managed property with its own filming policy, accreditation process and often its own media rates. Nothing gets shot on Yas Island by turning up; it gets shot by arranging it properly in advance, which is exactly what we do in pre-production.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Do you cover events at Etihad Arena?

Yes. We cover conferences, exhibitions, awards nights and live events at Etihad Arena, typically with multi-camera coverage plus stills. Arena events require accreditation through the venue and the event organiser, which we arrange before the date — camera positions and rigging are agreed with the venue in advance.

How much does video production on Yas Island cost?

Event coverage starts from AED 3,000, full-day multi-camera conference coverage from AED 7,500, hotel content packages from AED 6,500, and motorsport days from AED 5,500. Yas venues sometimes charge their own media or location fees, which are additional and identified upfront.

Can you film at Yas Marina Circuit?

Yes, subject to the circuit's accreditation and safety process. Trackside access is tightly controlled and major events may carry exclusive broadcast rights that limit third-party filming, so we confirm permitted positions with race control and the organiser before the day.

Do you need permission to film on Yas Island?

Almost always, yes. Yas is made up of managed properties — the circuit, Etihad Arena, the theme parks, the hotels, Yas Mall — and each has its own filming policy and approval route. We handle these approvals in pre-production and build the lead time into the schedule.

Can you cover theme park brand activations?

Yes. Activations at Ferrari World, Warner Bros. World, Yas Waterworld and SeaWorld are arranged through each park's media and marketing team. Park filming usually has constraints on guest visibility and ride access, which we plan around.

Do you cover Yas Bay and the waterfront venues?

Yes. Yas Bay's restaurants, waterfront promenade and Etihad Arena precinct are all part of our Yas coverage — F&B content, venue films and event work.
