Architectural film in Abu Dhabi, directing film and videography for institutions and developers. The named work here is a hyperlapse and super zoom study inside the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, made during a wider retail commission for Nahdi.
The Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque Study
Made during a Nahdi retail rollout that also covered pharmacies across Abu Dhabi and Dubai, the mosque piece used hyperlapse and super zoom techniques to study how light moves through the space, a different problem from the stills-based light study made on the same visit.
Access to film inside the mosque is not something arranged casually. It came through the same permission process that governs any commission there, planned in advance rather than assumed.
Working in Abu Dhabi
Film work in the emirate is covered from the Dubai base as regular work, planned alongside architectural photography in Abu Dhabi rather than booked separately. Where a site involves the same access sensitivity as a religious or government building, that permission process is built into the schedule from the start.
