• Time was the biggest challenge. The team had to complete concept development, scripting, filming, and delivery within one week.
• The story required multiple locations. These included the desert, ocean, salt lake, and SAM headquarters. Each setting symbolized a part of Sharjah’s past and future.
• The production also required a full 10-member crew. In addition, the film needed bilingual narration in Arabic and English to reach a wider audience.
Rooted in Light
Panda Creations developed a strong narrative called “Rooted in Light.” The story focused on growth, movement, and purpose.
The team completed concept development, scriptwriting, Arabic translation, and storyboarding in just two days.
Filming took place over three days. The crew shot during golden hour to maintain consistent lighting and tone. Each scene connected natural landscapes with modern architecture.
In post-production, the team enhanced the film with color grading, sound design, and smooth pacing. Warm tones and an orchestral soundtrack added emotion and depth.
