Filming at Downtown Design

Four things to plan before the fair.

Design content lives or dies on light and detail. These are the points we agree with you before the fair.

i.
Film before visitors arrive
Clean, empty shots of your stand are the most useful. We film them before doors open each day.
ii.
Plan your hero pieces
Tell us which pieces matter most, and we give them the most time and the best light.
iii.
Capture the build
If the organiser allows, a time-lapse of your stand build makes strong social content.
iv.
Think in vertical too
Design content performs on Instagram. We frame key shots for both landscape and vertical.

v.How fast do we get the videos and photos?

Our editor edits on the spot during the fair, so short videos are ready to post the same day. Your full videos and event photos are delivered the next day.

vi.How much does Downtown Design video production cost?

It depends on the number of days, crew size and the videos you need. Send your stand details and we will quote a fixed price for the agreed scope.

vii.Can a videographer film our Downtown Design installation?

Yes. Design pieces at Dubai Design District need slow, careful shots of material, light and form. One videographer suits a single installation; if you also want designer talks or an opening evening filmed, we add a second camera.
