Fresh from winning an Outstanding Achievement in Editing Oscar at last weeks 86th Academy Awards, Mark Sanger – the Editor of big budget Hollywood hit, Gravity – touched down at CABSAT today and immediately lauded Dubais case to be considered as a destination of choice for international broadcasters and the entertainment industry.
Speaking at a dedicated session entitled What it takes to Make a Blockbuster on the final day of the CABSAT Conference in partnership with the NAB Show, Sanger – who was joined by Tom Cordiner, Vice-President International Sales, Avid, in the hour-long discussion – revealed the Emirate had stunning diversity of potential shooting locations to aid its case.
When film crews evaluate prospective set locations, theyre looking for backdrops which reflect the directors vision of the script and translate into the richest cinematic experience. Dubai has such a diverse and vivid palette of prospective shooting locations, said Sanger.
Theres a broad mix of modern and traditional locations here, as well as great diversity in the number of man-made and natural landscapes. The city and surrounding areas beachfront, desert, oasis and lunar-like mountains – offer a wide scope to capture an eclectic array of shooting locations in a compact area. Simply put, Dubai is made for shooting movies.
