Animation Company in Dubai
2D explainers, 3D and CGI product films and motion graphics, made to run as ads and social content.
FDC is an animation company in Dubai that makes 2D explainers, 3D and CGI product films and motion graphics for brands that need to explain, launch or sell something.
Every piece is planned around where it will run, an ad, a feed, an outdoor screen, so the first three seconds do their job before anyone decides to scroll.
Book a strategy callMost of the work falls into three kinds. Explainer animation turns a product or process into something a buyer understands in under a minute. 3D and CGI films show a physical product in a way a camera cannot, from inside a bottle to a building that is not built yet. Motion graphics carry numbers, offers and interface steps in ads and on social.
FDC's studio cuts, edits and launches 2,500+ videos every year, and produces 1,200+ AI-powered assets every year alongside them. Volume matters because a single hero film rarely carries a campaign on its own: it needs cutdowns, formats and fresh variations to keep working.
Choose animation when the thing you sell is hard to film. Software, financial products, off-plan property and processes with many steps all read more clearly when they are drawn or built rather than shot. Animation also keeps costs predictable, because there is no location, cast or weather to plan around.
Live action still wins when trust depends on a real face, such as a founder, a doctor or a presenter. Many campaigns use both: a presenter-led film to build trust and short animated pieces to explain the detail.
For Lattafa, FDC produced CGI films that took the Fahad fragrance to an airport screen and Khamrah Waha to a wide outdoor LED. For Ard Al Zaafaran, the Rafeef and Sawsan launch films showed each scent as texture, light and its notes rather than a bottle on a table.
The same approach works for any product whose value is in how it looks or feels: cosmetics, furniture, devices and real estate.
An animation made for paid media is planned differently from a brand film. The hook lands in the first three seconds, the product appears early, and every version is cut for 9:16, 4:5, 1:1 and 16:9 so it fits each placement without awkward cropping.
Creative also wears out. FDC's campaign data shows cost per lead rising about 37% in the second half of a run when the creative is not refreshed (n=64), which is why animation projects plan for variations from the start.

Frequently asked questions
How long does an animation project take?
A 60-second animation typically takes 3 to 6 weeks depending on style and complexity. CGI product films and projects with many versions take longer; short motion graphics for ads can be faster.
What formats do you deliver in?
Every project ships as a master file plus the versions each channel needs: 9:16 for stories and reels, 4:5 and 1:1 for feeds, and 16:9 for YouTube, display and screens. MP4 and MOV are standard.
Do you make 3D and CGI animation?
Yes. FDC builds products and spaces in 3D for launch films and outdoor screens, including the Fahad and Khamrah Waha films for Lattafa.
Can you animate in Arabic as well as English?
Yes. Scripts, supers and on-screen text can be produced in Arabic and English, with layouts adjusted for right-to-left reading.
Is animation good for paid ads?
Yes, when it is built for them: a strong hook in the first three seconds, the product shown early, and fresh variations ready so performance does not fade as the audience sees the same film.
How much does animation cost in Dubai?
Cost depends on length, style and the number of versions. Book a strategy call and FDC will scope the project against your goal and media plan.
