About Dumiah Studio

Dumiah Studio is an independent CGI, 3D animation and visual effects production house based in Cairo, Egypt. Established in 2016, the business launched its physical studio in 2017. It develops original animated stories alongside commissioned advertising, children's television and co-production projects, serving Egyptian clients, the wider Gulf and MENA region, and international clients through remote production pipelines.

The studio brings animation production together under one roof, covering concept development, storyboarding, character and environment creation, rigging, performance capture, lighting, rendering, compositing and sound integration. Its work ranges from character-led commercial animation and branded mascots to narrative shorts and projects intended for longer-form production. It also provides 3D art outsourcing and works with partners across Arabic- and English-language media.

Original stories and commissioned production

Dumiah's original work includes The Book, a completed seven-minute animated horror short about Adham, a writer who turns to forbidden ancient texts while struggling with writer's block. Its development slate includes Al Azif, an animated feature project drawing on H. P. Lovecraft's mythos, and Agent-B12, a science-fiction comedy about an aspiring robot police officer. These projects are identified as development or proof-of-concept work rather than completed feature or series releases.

For younger audiences, the studio's portfolio includes Foolyz, comedy shorts following two bean-like brothers, and a pilot for Farm Friends, an original children's series built around a community of animal characters. Its commercial character work includes Choco Bear, a mascot and advertising proof of concept.

Dumiah also designed branded characters and produced animation for Adventure Palace in collaboration with Saudi Milk Company, SADAFCO, and Spacetoon. The work connects characters used on flavored-milk packaging with children's broadcast entertainment. Across its portfolio, the studio combines character design, animation and visual effects with both original intellectual-property development and commissioned production.

More about Dumiah Studio

Production methods

Dumiah's in-house Xsens inertial capture setup lets performers drive animated characters with physical movement and timing. Its real-time workflow uses Unreal Engine ray tracing, with Katana and Arnold supporting character close-ups and look development. The report also identifies a proprietary tool called Dumiah Publisher, managed directly by the studio.

Name and creative roots

The name Dumiah comes from the Arabic word for “doll.” The studio connects this meaning to the childhood experience of bringing a character to life through imagination.
