Booking in Dubai

• Shooting in public places in Dubai usually needs a filming permit from the Dubai Film and TV Commission. Ask whether your crew handles it or you do, and build the lead time into your dates.
• Drone shots need approval from the Dubai Civil Aviation Authority, so mention them in your brief from the start.
• The UAE working week runs Monday to Friday. Many productions shoot on Saturdays too, so say if weekend days are possible.
• Most commercial work here is bilingual. Say whether you need Arabic, English or both on camera and in the edit.
• VAT in the UAE is 5% and is added to the booking total.

What to ask before you book

• How many rounds of revisions are included?
• Do you handle licensed music, or do I supply it?
• Can you add Arabic subtitles?
• Do you also do colour grading and sound?
