Jubin J Mathew, videographer in Dubai

Who I am

I am a videographer, photographer and editor based in Dubai, working across the UAE as a single operator: the person you brief is the person behind the camera and the person in the edit. Eight years in the UAE market, most of it producing corporate films, event coverage, property video and social-first content, on direct bookings and as the production arm on agency work.

How I work

Every project starts with a written brief and, for anything beyond straightforward coverage, a storyboard or shot list agreed before the day. Proposals are itemised line by line, and most projects land in the AED 2,000 to 7,000 range, so a marketing manager can see what each deliverable costs rather than a lump sum. A deposit holds the date, the balance is due on delivery, and clients own the final films and the raw footage outright, in writing.

The pipeline runs in-house end to end: shoot, edit, grade, sound, captions and motion graphics. That is why a first cut lands within 2 to 5 working days, why same-day edits are possible for events that need a highlight to screen before guests leave, and why there is one person accountable for the finished film rather than a chain of vendors.

Kit and craft

Cameras are Sony FX6, Sony A7 IV and Sony ZV-E1, matched to the job: the FX6 for interviews, events and anything that needs clean audio and long takes, the A7 IV as a second angle and for stills, the ZV-E1 for fast vertical and handheld work. Wireless lavalier audio, compact LED lighting and stabilisation travel in the same kit, so one operator arrives self-sufficient. Post runs on Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, After Effects, Photoshop and Lightroom.

Credits

Work over the years, on direct bookings and as the production arm on agency jobs, has covered Khaleej Times, Galadari Motor Driving Centre, Yakult, Magrabi Hospitals & Centers, Aldar, KFC, Oral-B, Zeiss and MSD, across hospitality, healthcare, real estate and consumer brands. Recent case films are on the work page, including the Aldar Fahid Island launch event and the same-day edit for Emircom.

Experience

Where I work

Dubai is the base, and I work across all seven emirates: Abu Dhabi and Al Ain, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, Ras Al Khaimah and Fujairah. Travel for shoots outside Dubai, Sharjah and Ajman is quoted separately in the proposal. The UAE coverage page lists the venues and who issues filming permits in each emirate. The legal entity behind the brand is Rox Digital Marketing FZ-LLC, licensed in RAKEZ. It is disclosed in the footer for transparency, and it is not where the work happens. The work happens wherever the client's shoot is: a DIFC boardroom, a DWTC hall, a Marina yacht, a Saadiyat show apartment.

Booking

Send the date, location and roughly what you need on WhatsApp. You will get an itemised proposal within 24 hours. Corporate and commercial project enquiries within the UAE only. This is a solo studio, so I am not hiring and not taking on freelance collaborations.
