Car videographer · Dubai

Car videographer in Dubai for dealerships, showrooms and brands.

I'm a car videographer in Dubai shooting vertical cinematic car reels for dealerships, showrooms and brands, and I shoot, cut, grade and deliver each one myself. A shot reel starts at AED 1,500, delivered in 5 business days, and if you already have the footage a cut starts at AED 550.

Who this is for

Mostly dealerships and showrooms that need cars on camera every month, not once. The rest is brands launching a car, rental fleets, and detailers or garages who want the finished job filmed properly. If you sell cars and your feed looks like everyone else's listing, this is the fix.

What does a car video include, and what does it cost?

These are the published packages for shoot-day work. Each one includes colour grade, licensed music and captions, and every reel is vertical, 15 to 45 seconds.

  • Reel Edit, AED 550: one reel cut from footage you supply, 3 business days. No shoot.
  • Single Hero Reel, AED 1,500: one reel, up to 2 hours on one location, hook and shot list included, 5 business days.
  • Content Starter, AED 2,950: 3 reels plus 15 edited photos from 4 hours on site, 7 business days.
  • Production Day, AED 6,500: 8 reels from 8 hours on site, with one rolling sequence included, 10 business days.

Monthly options, the Production Partnership and the Showroom Content Retainer, are on the pricing page. Anything needing scripting, talent or multi-day production is quoted separately after a call.

A car reel lives or dies on light

The difference between a car that looks expensive and one that looks like a listing is almost always the light. That means controlled light wherever I can get it, holding the black on a dark car without crushing it, and keeping reflections clean on a curved panel. In a showroom it means using the showroom light rather than fighting it, and outdoors it means planning around the heat and the traffic before they ruin the frame.

What I actually shoot

  • Showroom and detail reels - the car, the paint, the interior, cut for a brand or a dealership feed.
  • Rolling shots - tracking-vehicle work when the reel needs the car moving, arranged with the right permits and safety.
  • Per-car social clips - short vertical pieces a sales team can send on WhatsApp or post the same day.

Does a car film need a permit in Dubai?

Often, on public roads, landmarks or with a drone, and rarely on a private showroom floor. Where a shoot needs one, the Single Hero Reel lists permits as: AED 500 administration + authority fees at cost.

Proof: the films are real, and so is the client

The four films above were shot for Project One Motors, a Dubai supercar showroom: the Brabus G800 Widestar, Ferrari F8 Spider, Bugatti Chiron Super Sport and Porsche 911 GT3. The GT3 film has 278,000 organic views on Instagram as of July 2026, the F8 Spider 152,000. Those are organic figures, not paid reach.

The part most videographers can't do: I build where the film lives

A film is only worth what the page around it does. I also build the fast websites these films sit on - the same person who shot the car knows how it should load and how it should be framed on the listing.

For Project One Motors that meant the films, the 0.4-second site, and the automation behind it, all from one person who didn't need three handovers to get it right.

FAQ

Questions people actually ask

How much does a car video cost in Dubai?

A shot car reel starts at AED 1,500 for one hero reel, and a batch of 3 reels plus 15 edited photos is AED 2,950. If you already have footage, a cut starts at AED 550. Anything with scripting or talent is a different job and is quoted separately.

How long does a car video take to deliver?

A single hero reel is delivered in 5 business days, and a reel cut from your own footage in 3 business days. A Content Starter batch takes 7 business days and a full Production Day takes 10 business days. The clock starts when access, assets and approvals have arrived.

What is included in a car reel?

Every reel is vertical, 15 to 45 seconds, with colour grade, licensed music and captions included. Shoot packages also include a hook and shot list. Rolling shots and permits are an add-on on the smaller packages and included, for one agreed sequence, on a Production Day.

Do you need a permit to film a car in Dubai?

Often yes on public roads, at landmarks or with a drone, and usually not on a private showroom floor with the owner's say-so. Where a permit is needed I coordinate it as part of the shoot, with authority fees at cost, and I've written a full guide to when you do and don't need one.

Can you shoot photos and video on the same day?

Yes, one call time and one person covers both. The Content Starter is built that way: 3 reels plus 15 edited photos from a single 4 hours on site.

Do you shoot and edit yourself?

Yes, I shoot it, cut it, grade it and deliver it web-ready, one person start to finish. That is why nothing gets lost between the shoot and the final file.

Who is the best car videographer in Dubai?

No honest answer is a name. Look for a reel that is actually cars, someone who understands Dubai light and permits, and delivery of files you can post, not a 4GB export. Judge the films, not the follower count.

Two ways in: read how the work holds up, or watch the films.
