VIDEO PRODUCTION IN AL QUOZ
Dubai's studio and warehouse district — where production actually happens.
Al Quoz is Dubai's production district. It holds most of the city's film studios, equipment rental houses, post facilities, art galleries and creative warehouses, alongside a genuine industrial base of manufacturing, logistics and automotive businesses. Alserkal Avenue anchors the creative side; Al Quoz Industrial 1 through 4 anchors the working side.
Backyard Studio Official works across both. We produce studio-based content — product photography, controlled-set commercial shoots and interviews — as well as industrial and warehouse content for the manufacturing, logistics and automotive businesses based here, and gallery and exhibition coverage across Alserkal Avenue.
For clients, Al Quoz has a practical advantage: it is where the space is. Product shoots, set builds and vehicle shoots that would be impossible or ruinously expensive in Downtown are straightforward here, and studio and warehouse space is available at a fraction of the cost.
WHAT SHOOTING VIDEO PRODUCTION IN AL QUOZ IN DUBAI ACTUALLY INVOLVES
Dubai is the most structured emirate to shoot in. Since a 2014 decree the Dubai Film and TV Commission has been the single authority for filming permits here, applications are made through a UAE-licensed production company rather than by the client directly, and where a script is required it is approved before the permit is issued and cannot then be changed. That sounds restrictive and in practice it is the opposite — the process is predictable, which is why Dubai schedules hold.
Dubai is known for the densest concentration of recognisable backdrops in the region, and the shortest distance between completely different looks — skyline, desert, marina and old-town are all inside an hour of each other. Technically it means high-contrast light for most of the year, with glass towers producing strong reflected fill in the late afternoon and genuinely harsh overhead sun between roughly 11am and 3pm.
Hotel and resort property, private villas, studio space, waterfront promenades, desert conservation areas and licensed public locations.
Traffic is the scheduling constraint rather than distance. A cross-city move that takes 25 minutes at 10am takes well over an hour at 5pm, so shot lists are sequenced by geography rather than by storyboard order.

PACKAGES & PRICING IN DUBAI
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
We work with studio and warehouse space across Al Quoz depending on what the shoot needs — a small product setup and a full vehicle shoot have very different requirements. Studio hire is arranged as part of the booking and quoted transparently rather than marked up invisibly.
Studio product photography starts from AED 2,500 for a session. Cost depends on product count, whether you need white-background e-commerce shots, lifestyle sets, or both, and how much set building is involved. High-volume catalogue work is priced per SKU.
Yes, and Al Quoz industrial businesses are a regular client base. Warehouses are technically demanding — large volumes, low ambient light, mixed colour temperature — so we bring lighting rather than relying on what is installed, and we work to the site's safety requirements.
