AI video production for Qatar, from a Gulf production company
Qatar's brands, hospitality groups and agencies need video that works in Arabic and English, looks premium and can be produced at the speed of social media. Blazing Sand Studios is a Gulf production company with studios in Abu Dhabi and Dubai and clients across the Gulf, including Doha. We have made adventure and destination television for 17 years, and today we produce AI commercials, destination films, corporate video and vertical micro drama with the same broadcast team.
A Gulf team that knows the audience
Our content has been distributed in 123 countries, but our roots are in the Gulf. Guy in Dubai, the adventure series we produce, was commissioned for Dubai Television and became the #1 commissioned local programme on Dubai TV, and it plays on Amazon Prime, Dubai One and Emirates ice. Our team understands Gulf audiences, Gulf culture and the standards of Gulf broadcasters and airlines, which is exactly what a Qatar brief needs.
What we make for Qatar
- AI commercials and social ads. Campaign spots in 6, 15, 30 and 60-second versions, with variations for testing and every ratio your platforms need.
- Hospitality and destination films. Hero films and social cut-downs for hotels, resorts and attractions, built on our destination work for tourism boards and destinations.
- Event and sports content. Previews, recaps and social video for events, with AI used for environments, set extensions and pick-up shots alongside real footage.
- Corporate and explainer video. Communications for Qatar companies and organisations, produced faster and for less than a conventional shoot.
- Vertical series and micro drama. One-to-two-minute vertical episodes, 50 to 100 a series, for platforms and brands.
White label for Doha agencies
Agencies in Qatar can use us as a production partner behind their own brand. We work to your brief and your client's guidelines, keep your client relationship yours and deliver finished files ready to present. Our AI video for agencies service is built for exactly this.
Arabic and English, plus more
We deliver one production in Arabic, English, Urdu, Turkish and Farsi, with dialogue, subtitles and on-screen text adapted rather than simply translated. For Qatar's mix of Qatari nationals, Arab expatriates, South Asian communities and international visitors, that means one campaign can reach every audience.
How we work
- Brief: audience, platform, formats and languages agreed up front.
- Script: written by our writers and structured for the platform.
- World: characters, wardrobe, props and locations designed once and kept consistent.
- Generate: shots produced with leading video models, directed shot by shot.
- Finish: human edit, sound design, music, colour and localisation.
- Deliver: every ratio and language, with full rights records.
Rights you can rely on
Every project includes chain-of-title records and a register of the AI tools used and their commercial-use terms. For premium brands and public-sector clients in Qatar, that documentation is essential for approval.
From production to distribution
If you are making long-form content, our distribution arm can take finished films and series to more than 150 broadcasters, 100 streaming platforms and 50 airlines and cruise lines, on a revenue-share basis.
