Red carpets? Shaking. Cameras? Quivering. Because Cole Walliser — the man who makes A-listers look like slow-motion royalty — just touched down in Abu Dhabi for Formula 1 weekend. And he didn't just bring his bags. He brought Hollywood.
Who Is Cole Walliser and What Is the Glambot?
The Canadian filmmaker and viral music video director is the face behind the iconic Glambot — a high-speed robotic camera system that captures celebrities in breathtaking slow-motion at the world's biggest award shows. Oscars, Grammys, Golden Globes, Emmys, People's Choice — the Glambot is the VIP pit stop of award season, and Cole is behind the controls.
Since 2016, Walliser has operated the Glambot for E! Entertainment, turning a single hair-flip into a viral moment watched by millions. In 2025, he was recognised on TIME magazine's inaugural TIME100 Creators list for his digital impact.
The Glambot's A-List Resume
Every celebrity wants that Glambot moment — because one perfect slow-motion shot can mean millions of views, global memes, and internet immortality. New influencers reportedly practice poses like it's the Olympics, because when Cole hits record, you get one shot. No retakes. Just fame.
His lens has captured the elite: Scarlett Johansson, Kim Kardashian, Ricky Martin, Taylor Swift — the A-list of the A-list.
Glambot Arrives at Abu Dhabi F1 Weekend
Now Walliser is in the UAE — camera in hand. Not just to work, but to live, breathe, and experience Formula 1 as the speed-obsessed creator he is.
The Abu Dhabi Grand Prix on Yas Island is already one of the most glamorous stops on the F1 calendar. With Walliser and the Glambot on the ground, the paddock effectively became a Hollywood red carpet — drivers and celebrities alike lining up for their slow-motion moment.
Hollywood energy has officially activated in the UAE. Everyone else? Line up and look legendary.
