Brief Explanation

In this film you will see the city of Dubai set in Imagine Dragons new video for their single 'Thunder' through ‘Location Placement’. We wanted to showcase the city in a creative, authentic, subtle and natural way, fitting in with the overarching creativity, effects and tone. The creative idea & execution in this movie is brought to life through the incredibly talented and world renown director, Mr Joseph Kahn, who captured unique aliens landing in the city of Dubai, exploring its beautiful locations & architecture, with elements of colour & fireworks noting the vibrancy of the city underneath. The concept embodies embracing your creativeness and differences, not conforming to the norm. We hope you enjoy it!
