From brief to delivery
Every project starts with a clear brief: audience, territory, language and deadline. We scope the production path — traditional, AI-directed or hybrid — then shoot or generate under direction and finish with human editors, sound and colour.
Clients include Rebel Entertainment, Rotana Hotels and Tadbeer. Platforms and airlines that carry our work include Amazon Prime, Apple TV and OSN, and British Airways, Emirates, flydubai, Air Arabia, Etihad Airways, Aer Lingus, SpiceJet, Iberia and LEVEL.
We are CMA-registered in Abu Dhabi, with staffed offices at Upside in Business Bay, Dubai, and at twofour54 in Abu Dhabi. Paris Norriss is CEO of Blazing Sand Studios.
Craft, reach and Gulf fluency
Seventeen years of adventure and destination storytelling sit behind the AI workflows. That is why tourism boards, hotels, entertainment companies and agencies trust the same team for both long-form television and short-form campaigns.
