About
Your music video partner in Essaouira
AdKey Prod produces music videos in Essaouira, windswept Atlantic city, UNESCO World Heritage site, for solo artists, bands and labels around the world. You get a senior director, a cinema-grade DOP and an English-speaking crew, from the first idea to the final colour grade.
Few cities give a music video the look Essaouira does — Médina d'Essaouira, Skala de la Kasbah and the surrounding Marrakech-Safi region offer iconic backdrops at a fraction of the European or US budget. Great natural light, friendly weather and the right crew on the ground.
Send us your track, a quick brief and a few references. You get a clear plan, a fixed quote and a shoot date in Essaouira. We take care of CCM permits, drones, casting, locations and equipment — you just show up and perform.

Concept development & storyboarding
Our creative team turns your track into a shot-ready concept for Essaouira: mood-board, treatment and frame-by-frame storyboard built around your sound, lyrics and visual identity.
Creative direction
An experienced director steers every frame so the edit lands as one cohesive narrative — performance, story and atmosphere aligned with the artist's identity in Essaouira.
Professional filming & DOP
Cinematic capture with our in-house DOP on ARRI Alexa Mini, RED Komodo and Sony FX9, lit with ARRI Skypanels, gimbals, cranes and licensed drones for aerial moves over Essaouira.
Casting, choreography & location scouting
We cast dancers, extras and supporting talent and scout iconic Essaouira backdrops — including Médina d'Essaouira and Skala de la Kasbah — or build custom sets in our partner studios.
Post-production, colour & sound
Editing, rhythmic cutting, colour grading, sound design and audio finishing — every cut tuned to the mood of the track and the brand of the label.
VFX, motion graphics & multi-format cuts
VFX, motion design and animation when the concept calls for it, plus vertical, square and teaser cuts for YouTube, Instagram, TikTok and the full social rollout.

Why shoot a music video in Essaouira?
Essaouira is one of the most cinematic cities in Morocco — windswept Atlantic city, UNESCO World Heritage site. Locations like Médina d'Essaouira and Skala de la Kasbah give a music video instant identity, with great natural light and a fraction of the European or US budget.

A typical music video in Essaouira includes concept and storyboard, casting, location scouting, CCM permits, drone authorisations, shooting on cinema cameras with director and DOP, then editing, colour grading, sound design and multi-format delivery (YouTube, Instagram, TikTok).
Can you produce music videos for different genres in Essaouira?
Absolutely. We have produced videos for hip-hop, pop, electronic, indie, rock, R&B, traditional Moroccan music and gnawa fusion. The visual language is tailored to each genre and to the artist's identity, not the other way around.
Do you scout locations around Essaouira?
Yes. We scout and secure the right locations for your track, from iconic backdrops in Essaouira (Médina d'Essaouira, Skala de la Kasbah) and the wider Marrakech-Safi region, to custom-built sets in our partner green-screen studios.

Cinema bodies (ARRI Alexa Mini LF, RED Komodo, Sony FX9), Zeiss / Cooke / Sigma cinema lenses, ARRI Skypanels and HMI lighting, DJI Ronin gimbals and jib arms, DJI Inspire 3 / Mavic 3 Cine drones piloted by our licensed operators, and Sennheiser / DPA / Rode audio.
