Overview

How ZOPE approaches music videos

Music videos are where ZOPE's founder made his name as a director, with songs for leading Indian labels and artists. Dubai gives a song a look that is hard to find anywhere else: yachts and marinas, supercar streets, desert and skyline in one day. We direct music videos in Dubai for Punjabi, Hindi and English songs, and for independent artists who want a label-level video.

We start with the track. The concept, cast, locations, choreography and colour all come from the song, and we write a treatment before anything is booked. On set we run a full crew, and after the shoot we edit, grade and deliver the video, teasers and reels for release week, plus artwork stills from the same day.

Shooting in public places in Dubai usually needs a filming permit for a commercial release. We arrange permits, locations and access as part of production.

What we shoot

— Full music videos

— Lyric and visualiser videos

— Performance shoots

— Reels and teasers for release

— Album artwork shoots

— Artist BTS

Every project gets a written treatment, a shot list and a delivery plan before the camera rolls.

Planning tips

— Send the final mix and lyrics early. The treatment is written to the song's structure.

— Plan the release week: teasers, a performance cut and reels come from the same shoot.

— Yacht, car and rooftop locations book out in the season, so lock them early.
