Designing a world in motion
For Dubai Islands, production design gives a choreographed journey through the waterfront a series of distinct worlds. Architecture, reflections and bold patterns become part of the movement.
Architecture underfoot
The façade study turns an architectural surface into a stage. The model establishes the raised details and rhythm of the platform, visible beneath the performers in the finished film.
Changing the visual rhythm
The film moves between angled reflections, an illuminated environment and the graphic pattern of beach umbrellas. Each sequence gives the choreography a different setting.
Movement through reflections
Mirror studies explore how repeated surfaces can change the experience of a space. In the film, the mirrored passage multiplies the dancer and keeps the sea visible beyond it.

Exploring the camera and the set
A separate rotating-mirror study explores the relationship between the performer, reflective surfaces and a circular camera route.
