Question 1

What do you actually do?

Accepted Answer

Three things. Photorealistic 3D billboard production for outdoor screens. CGI and product visualization for ad campaigns and e-commerce. AI tooling and automation for studios that want to move faster. I'm based in Dubai and work with brands globally.

Question 2

Where are you based and who do you work with?

Accepted Answer

Based in Dubai. Most production is remote. Past work spans Coca-Cola, Cadbury, and other tier-1 brands across MENA. Open to international briefs.

Question 3

Do you work with agencies or only direct?

Accepted Answer

Both. Agency partnerships work as a white-label production arrangement. Direct-to-brand engagements are scoped end-to-end from concept through delivery.

Question 4

What's the fastest way to reach you?

Accepted Answer

WhatsApp for short questions. Contact form for project briefs — I read every submission personally and reply within 24 hours.

Question 5

How long does a 3D anamorphic billboard take to produce?

Accepted Answer

Four to eight weeks for a typical campaign. That covers concept, 3D modeling, animation, render-to-screen-spec, and final QC. Rush is possible at +30% — but only if I can ship cleanly.

Question 6

Do you handle the screen booking?

Accepted Answer

No. I produce the creative — CGI, animation, sound. I'll consult with your media buyer on screen specs and format delivery, but I don't book placements.

Question 7

What screen specs and formats can you deliver?

Accepted Answer

Any standard DOOH spec — Times Square, Burj Khalifa LED, Piccadilly, Shibuya. I work from your screen's aspect ratio and pixel dimensions to ensure the anamorphic illusion lands at the intended viewing angle.

Question 8

Can I see references before committing?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The portfolio at /projects has shipped work. For new briefs I send a concept board within 48 hours — pre-production references, mood, and a rough scope.

Question 9

Can you work from CAD files or do you need physical product?

Accepted Answer

CAD files (STEP, IGES, OBJ) are ideal — they preserve exact geometry. If only physical reference exists, high-resolution photos from multiple angles plus dimensions work too. I'll let you know what's needed during scoping.

Question 10

Do you do architectural visualization?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Interior and exterior renders, walkthrough animations, day/night studies. I'm also studying Environmental Architecture, which feeds the work directly.

Question 11

What's the difference between product viz and a CGI ad?

Accepted Answer

Product viz prioritizes accuracy — material, dimension, surface response — typically for e-commerce or technical documentation. CGI ads prioritize storytelling — composition, motion, emotional cue — typically for campaign use. Both can share the same source assets.

Question 12

What kind of AI work do you take on?

Accepted Answer

Custom Blender/After Effects automations, RAG pipelines for studio knowledge bases, internal LLM tooling, and workflow integrations. Mostly for studios and creative shops that want to compress production time without hiring more people.

Question 13

Are you a 'replace my team with AI' consultant?

Accepted Answer

No. The AI work is to remove repetitive friction so the team focuses on the parts that need taste and judgment. Anyone selling pure replacement is overpromising.

Question 14

Do you build AI tools as products or as engagements?

Accepted Answer

Both. Engagements are scoped per studio — discovery, build, handoff, train. Some recurring patterns become reusable products (see /tools).

Question 15

How does pricing work?

Accepted Answer

Three published tiers at /pricing — Starter from $6K, Professional from $15K, Enterprise from $50K. The tier sets the scope; the final quote depends on your brief. Sent within 48 hours.

Question 16

Do you offer payment plans?

Accepted Answer

For Professional and Enterprise: 30% on signing, 40% at concept approval, 30% on delivery. Starter is 50/50.

Question 17

What's the typical project timeline?

Accepted Answer

Brief to delivery: 2-3 weeks for Starter, 3-4 weeks for Professional, 4-8 weeks for Enterprise. Strategy and concept happen in week one — production scales from there.

Question 18

What if my brief doesn't fit any tier?

Accepted Answer

Send it anyway. The tiers are entry points, not boxes. A flagship installation, a custom IP series, or a multi-year retainer gets scoped from scratch.

Question 19

Do you sign NDAs?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Mutual NDA is standard for any brief touching unreleased product, IP, or campaign strategy. Send yours or I'll send mine.
