Trendz Media Studio is a CGI and post-production studio in Dubai. We create 3D videos, animated characters, product visuals and campaign films for government entities and brands across the UAE, from RTA’s New Year traffic plan videos to ENOC’s Khalaf mascot series.
What is CGI & Post Production?
CGI (computer-generated imagery) is 3D content built digitally: animation, characters, environments and product visuals that would be difficult or impossible to film. Post-production is everything after the shoot or render: editing, compositing, colour grading, motion graphics, sound and final delivery. We handle both, so concept, 3D and edit come from one team.
Who it is for
- Government entities explaining plans, services or launches with clear 3D visuals.
- Brands launching a mascot or character that needs a persona, design and an animated series.
- Campaigns for events and screens such as GITEX, launches and outdoor displays.
- Marketing teams that need high-end visuals faster and cheaper than a full shoot.
Our process
- Brief and concept: we agree the message, audience, platforms and length, and develop the creative idea.
- Script and storyboard: the story frame by frame, approved before production starts.
- Style frames and design: look and feel, characters and environments.
- 3D production: modelling, texturing, lighting, animation and rendering.
- Post-production: compositing, editing, colour, motion graphics and sound.
- Delivery: final versions in every format and size you need, including social cut-downs.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a CGI video cost in Dubai?
It depends on length, level of detail, the number of characters or 3D assets, and how many versions you need. Share your brief and we will send a tailored proposal.
How long does a CGI video take?
Most CGI projects take 4 to 8 weeks, from the creative brief and storyboards to final rendered and composited files. Simple 3D stills can be faster, and character series take longer. We agree a timeline at the start.
Can you combine live footage with 3D?
Yes. We blend real footage with 3D animation, as we did for Abu Dhabi Language Center’s Poetry Encyclopedia video.
Can you design and animate a brand mascot?
Yes. For ENOC we created the Khalaf mascot from persona and character design through to a full animated series.
Do you work with government entities?
Yes. Our clients include RTA, The Executive Council of Dubai, the Ministry of Culture & Youth and Abu Dhabi Public Health Center. We are used to multi-step approval processes and brand guidelines.
Do you work with clients outside Dubai?
Yes. We have offices in Dubai Design District and Saadiyat Cultural District, Abu Dhabi, and work with clients across the UAE and the GCC.
