CREATING MEMORIES
THROUGH VISUAL STORYTELLING
Calima Lab is a Dubai-based CGI & VFX studio delivering characters, creatures, 3D assets, animation and cinematics for agencies, production companies and gaming studios across advertising and entertainment.
Calima Lab was founded on the belief that the most powerful stories are not simply told, they are felt. We create worlds, characters, and cinematic experiences which become memories that stay with people long after the moment has passed.
As the boundaries between the physical and digital continue to dissolve, storytelling is no longer confined to a single medium. It unfolds across films, immersive experiences, virtual spaces, and emerging technologies, creating new ways for people to connect with brands, places, and one another.
We believe great visuals are only the beginning. Our purpose is to create stories that move people, worlds they want to explore, characters they remember, and experiences that become lasting memories.

WHAT WE DO
We create CGI and VFX for campaigns, films and interactive experiences, from 3D animation, cinematics and hero content to OOH and social. Our work also spans character development, real-time production, and the environments and worlds those stories live in.

Some post-production companies want the brief once every decision has been made. Rather than operating as a supplier waiting for a brief, we aim to become a production partner our clients can bring into the conversation early.

SILENA
An elegant dinner gala unveiling Silena, Avenue’s latest development, inspired by the sea and moon, set in an immersive beachfront atmosphere. Guests move through fluid spaces as if floating, leading to a central setting of rocks and colored vegetation where a grand stage hosts the presentation, blending luxury and storytelling.
MANDARIN ORIENTAL
With a rich history in hospitality, the Mandarin Oriental has successfully cemented itself as one of the leading brands in hotel and resort experiences. In the lead-up to the new Mandarin Oriental opening its doors to a palatial journey in the Emirates Palace, we help to create an experience that would perfectly capture and compliment the journey of Mandarin Oriental as it settles into its role as the latest host of the magnificent palace. A true celebration of past, present and future.
