SCENE 01 / ROTOSCOPING CLEANUP
Rotoscoping & Cleanup in Saudi Arabia
Precision rotoscoping and invisible cleanup work that forms the foundation of seamless visual effects.
Rotoscoping and cleanup are frame-by-frame post-prod jobs. They isolate elements and remove unwanted objects. They prep footage for compositing. Rotoscoping traces precise mattes around subjects. This pulls them out of the shot. Cleanup strips wires, rigs, markers, and other flaws seen in raw footage.
We set up roto and cleanup work with skilled VFX shops. They handle close frame-by-frame work. Our team runs shot turnover, quality reviews, and delivery dates. We make sure your footage is clean and ready for compositing. We keep it free of distracting flaws.

On Location
Rotoscoping and plate cleanup across Riyadh and Jeddah — Silhouette and Nuke roto bays at Pixomondo and Manga Productions, AlUla wire and rig removal, period-set anachronism cleanup for Diriyah heritage productions.
We staff roto artists and paint pros on the top tools. Silhouette FX is the go-to dedicated roto tool. Foundry Nuke does roto plus paint-and-cleanup in node-based comp. Mocha Pro handles planar tracking for roto and screen-replace. We also use Boris FX Continuum. Pixomondo Riyadh runs the country's flagship roto bay. Its crew came off the Star Trek Discovery and The Mandalorian pipelines. Manga Productions Riyadh handles anime-pipeline cleanup for Future Folktales and Saud Rises. The look is different here. It keeps line-art quality through composited frames. Beyond Studios Riyadh and Spider Eye Studios cover boutique paint-and-roto. Saudi cleanup briefs vary. We do wire and rig removal for AlUla canyon stunt scenes (Kandahar 2023, Desert Warrior 2024). We strip out-of-era detail at Diriyah At-Turaif UNESCO World Heritage Site. That means removing electrical conduits, modern signage, and modern footwear in period scenes. We clean CCTV cameras, traffic signage, and HVAC units from Jeddah Al-Balad heritage exteriors. We clean modern logos and signage at AlUla Maraya Concert Hall and other venues. We do careful frame-by-frame digital removal for cultural sensitivity reviews.
Saudi Arabia's roto and cleanup workload tracks two waves. One is the global shoots wave at AlUla and NEOM since 2020. The other is the home-grown narrative slate. Several productions wrap in country. These include Kandahar (2023, Gerard Butler) and Desert Warrior (2024, Anthony Mackie). They also include Cherry (Apple TV+, partial AlUla), Hellraiser 2022 plates, and Saudi Film Commission Vision 2030 features. Most build roto packages that ship to global VFX houses for finishing. Those houses include DNEG UK/India, ARRI Rental, Mr.X Dubai, and the Buf Cairo branch. But Saudi roto teams handle the front-line plate prep. We work with Image Nation Abu Dhabi and TwoFour54 Abu Dhabi on cross-border roto handoffs. We use Goldenrod Cairo for Egyptian-dialect catalog cleanup at Shahid VIP refurbishment scale. We deliver EXR multi-channel mattes, DPX cleanup plates, and Nuke script handoffs. We price at SAR 3.75:1 USD, add 15% VAT, and run a Sunday-Thursday workweek.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What rotoscoping software do you use?
We mainly use Silhouette, Nuke, and Mocha Pro for roto work. Each tool is strong in its own way. Silhouette is best for close shape work. Nuke ties roto into compositing. Mocha handles planar tracking-helped roto. We pick the best tool for each shot.
How do you handle motion blur in roto?
Motion blur needs care to keep edges looking natural. We match blur direction and strength to the source footage. We use special edge treatments and multi-frame methods. The goal is a seamless blend. The roto edges stay invisible in the final composite.
Can you work with difficult elements like hair?
Yes. We focus on hard roto like fine hair, fur, and semi-clear elements. We use core mattes with soft edges. We add multi-channel keying help and close hand work. This gives clean results. It keeps natural edge detail intact.
What's your typical turnaround for roto work?
Turnaround depends on shot size and volume. Simple roto can take just hours per shot. Hard character work with hair and motion blur takes more time. We give close estimates based on shot breakdowns. We can grow the team to hit deadlines.
