Set in the core of the Burj Khalifa district, awaits ME Dubai. Consciously crafted to be a granted wish for all adventurous minds in search of satisfying their heart's adoration of art and contemporary culture. It was first designed by the late architectural icon, Zaha Hadid back in 2007, but officially opened in March of 2020.
We were passionate about honoring Hadid's only hotel design in our work by capturing the lively detailing found in her vivid art aesthetic and design style. Showcasing this through a traveler's eyes by incorporating the different hotel facilities set in the business bay and utilizing models as the potential guests for shots that would bring about the view of what future visitors would get to experience for themselves.
View tech cameras assisted in filming the facades, where we used shift movements as a way of sustaining those straight lines while visually grasping the scale and proportions accurately. It was important to us to be positioned strategically to make the facade a monumental sight.

I'm glad you're digging it mate, do you also shoot hotels?

[@natecookphotography]

@@ArturoLauren I did an exterior of a hotel for an architect, but I haven't done an interiors shoot yet nor a shoot just for the hotel. It looks like a great time!

[@khalafilyas2367]

Am really curious how you guys preserved the details in both highlights and shadows ? Any secret sauce (framerates, Nd filters, external lighting )?

[@ArturoLauren]

Not easy to explain here but, We are goping to release a full architecture filmmaking course later this year where we are going to go through these topics

[@JaiminsinhRajput]

The truth of this woman is that she was an engineer who worked for hir personal fame only and her works was never to serve the community. And her works were just an art pictures converted to an engineering works. And the question. Is this woman worked all of these works by herself, or was she hiding those who were working for her and who she was using them for her personal fame?
