How To Choose the Right Video Production Company in Dubai

Let me tell you something I learned the hard way.

A client came to us at Rtist Studio after spending a fortune with another production company. The videos looked okay. Nice shots. Good lighting. But they didn't do anything. No sales. No engagement. Nothing.

Most businesses don't know what to look for when hiring a video company. They see fancy equipment and think that's enough. It's not.

Here's Why Video Isn't Optional Anymore

In Dubai, your competition is already using video. Your customers scroll past dozens of videos every day. If you're not in that mix, you're invisible.

Think about it. When was the last time you read a 500-word product description? But a 30-second video? You'll watch that while waiting for your coffee.

Video makes people feel things. When someone watches your video and gets what you're about—that's when they become customers.

Five Things That Actually Matter When Choosing

Look at their old work.

Spend 20 minutes watching their previous videos. Do they make you want to keep watching? Watch without sound first. If the visuals don't grab you, it's not good enough.

They need to know your industry.

At Rtist Studio, we've worked across every industry in Dubai—real estate, tech startups, restaurants, fashion, hospitality, and finance. Each requires a different approach. Ask companies straight up: "Have you done this before?"

Check what people say.

Look for detailed reviews. Did they deliver on time? Stick to the budget? When something went wrong, how did they handle it?

The people and cameras both matter

Good equipment plus talented people equals great videos. At Rtist Studio, we've invested in both. Our gear is top-notch, and our team has been doing this long enough to know what works.

Don't pick based on price alone.

We've had clients come to us after wasting money on "affordable" options. They ended up spending twice as much. We're honest about pricing from day one and work within your budget without making unrealistic promises.

Why We Love Shooting in Dubai (And You Should Too)

At Rtist Studio, we’ve shot videos all over the world. Dubai is in a league of its own.

Where else can you film in a futuristic skyscraper, then drive 30 minutes and be in the desert? Or capture traditional markets, then head to a beach for sunset shots?

Working with a local team like us means you get people who know every corner of this city. We know where the light hits just right. We know which locations work for luxury brands versus tech startups. We know how to capture Dubai in a way that makes your brand look incredible.

Here’s How to Get This Right From Day One

Figure out what you’re trying to do. Don't say "we need a video.” Say “we need to solve this specific problem."

At Rtist Studio, we start every project by asking tons of questions. What’s your goal? Who’s your audience? What should they do after watching? We’re trying to understand your business so we can create something that actually works.

We treat every project as if it were our own business on the line. Your success is our success.
