For Emirates NBD, we created a CGI and VFX video to celebrate Eidiya — the tradition of gifting money during Eid — bringing the spirit of generosity and joy to life through a single, exuberant visual moment.

CGI ATM Celebration for Emirates NBD Eid Al Fitr — Dubai

THE CONCEPT
To celebrate the tradition of Eidiya, we created a CGI VFX video that brings the spirit of generosity and joy to life through an unexpected transformation of a familiar object. The video centres around an Emirates NBD ATM machine that begins to spin majestically — releasing money and envelopes into the air in a dynamic, celebratory sequence. The flying envelopes and notes symbolise the act of giving during Eid, translating the cultural tradition of Eidiya into a visual spectacle that feels both festive and distinctly on-brand. The CGI advertising production infuses the sequence with the warmth and excitement of Eid celebrations — the colours, the movement, and the energy of the moment all calibrated to communicate how Emirates NBD continues to honour this cherished tradition of giving. The FOOH-inspired format makes the content shareable on social media across UAE and Gulf markets, connecting the brand to one of the most emotionally significant moments in the Islamic calendar through a piece of CGI video production that is visually joyful and culturally grounded.

Why it worked

Transforming an ATM — a functional, transactional object — into a source of celebration and generosity is a creative reframe that makes the brand's role in the Eid tradition feel human and warm rather than commercial. The spinning and releasing mechanic is inherently dynamic and watchable, making the content well-suited for social media CGI campaigns targeting UAE and Gulf audiences during the Eid period.

When to use CGI like this

CGI seasonal campaigns built around cultural traditions are highly effective for banking and finance brands operating in markets where those traditions carry strong emotional weight. If the brand has a product or service that connects naturally to a gifting, celebration, or generosity moment — Eid, Diwali, New Year — CGI advertising allows that connection to be made visually and at a scale that generates organic reach across social media in UAE and Gulf markets.
