Decide before we make.
Whether a brief needs a film, an animation or a different format entirely is settled at the treatment stage — not discovered after the shoot.
( Creative studio — Dubai )
Style fades.
Perspective compounds.
A Dubai creative studio for film, animation, games, apps and AI — one team, from script to delivery.
( The studio )
Zaini began as a family name — and became a way of seeing.
We are a production studio first. Writers, directors, animators, developers and editors work under one roof in Dubai, so a brief moves from idea to finished film, game or app without being passed between suppliers. Craft is the standard. Play is how we get there. 100+ brands trust the habit.

“The best ideas come as jokes.
— David Ogilvy
Make your thinking as funny as possible.”
Yas Creative Hub, Abu Dhabi — where the work gets made.

( How we work )
Keep it under one roof.
The person who argued for the idea is the same person deciding what gets shot on Tuesday and how it is cut for a phone on Friday.
Use AI where it removes drudgery.
Pre-production, previs, versioning and localisation run through our own pipeline. Final creative judgement stays with people.
Design for both languages.
Arabic and English are planned from the first draft, never translated after the edit.
