Your Burj Khalifa show,

Send a brief. We design the LED show and you watch it synced to the music in a true-to-scale Downtown Dubai, before the city does.

Concept work made to show the method. Not commissioned by or affiliated with the brands shown.

Loading the show

The engine

Built for one tower. Nothing else.

Before we design a single frame, our tool has done the homework: the shows already played on the Burj, your brand's codes, and what Emaar will accept.

479

Burj shows studied

Every LED show in 3,290 official posts, sorted. The best taken apart frame by frame: effects, transitions, how text climbs the tower.

150

Presets for the façade

Effects, transitions, logo reveals and type layouts, drawn on the tower's real pixel grid and its setbacks.

Your brand

Read like a brief

Palette, typefaces, logo rules, motion codes. The show looks like you on 828 metres, not like a template.

Then it all lives on one canvas. Here, Spotify.

Key features

See the show before the city does.

A storyboard asks your client to imagine. A flat video shows a rectangle. We show the tower, the lake, the crowd's point of view, on the night.

Map dataReal heightsNight

True-to-scale DowntownSignature

Rebuilt from precise map data: every street, the lake and 4,000 buildings around the tower, on their real footprint and at their real height. You judge the show in the city it will light up.

Live previewSignature

From the sky to the Souk Al Bahar bridge, along the lake and up the façade. Every viewpoint plays the show in sync, so you see it the way the crowd will.

Cut on the beat

The track sets the grid. Shots and light changes snap to it, so the tower moves like a music video.

The preview is the crew's brief

Every shot of the preview becomes the film crew's brief: position, lens, timecode. On the night, each shot is checked against it. No improvising, and you see exactly what you will get before it exists.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

What exactly takes 24 hours?

Producing the show: from your brief, track and assets to a complete 60-second show you can watch live in the 3D preview. Emaar's review and your broadcast date follow their own calendar.

Do you book the slot on the tower?

No. Emaar sells the broadcast slot and invoices you directly. When you add Emaar approval, we coordinate the booking and make every change Emaar asks for until sign-off.

What if we only have three lines?

That's enough. We write the concept, the storyboard and the whole show, and compose a track if you don't have one.

When does the studio open?

Today our team builds every show for you. Soon, brands and agencies will be able to build and preview their own Burj Khalifa show on the same canvas.

A new show needs
a taller canvas.

828 metres, 1.1 million pixels, one night. Send a brief today, walk around your show in Downtown Dubai tomorrow.
