SCENE 01 / TITLE DESIGN CREDITS
Title Design & Credits in Saudi Arabia
Cinematic title sequences and credits that set the tone and create memorable first and last impressions.
Here is how this works in practice. Title design and credit sequences create the typographic and visual elements that open, close, and brand a production. From elegant main-on-end credits to elaborate animated title sequences, these elements set up tone, satisfy contractual obligations, and leave a lasting impression on audiences.
Here is the short of it. We connect you with title designers who create distinctive opening sequences and professionally formatted credits for your production. Our team sets up design development, contractual credit needs, and tech delivery to make sure your title work is visually compelling and meets all distribution and union obligations.

On Location
Title design and end credits across Riyadh and Jeddah — bilingual Arabic-English title sequences for Red Sea International Film Festival features, MBC drama, Shahid VIP and Netflix MENA originals, with right-to-left Arabic typography expertise.
We pair title designers with motion designers across the standard tool stack. Adobe After Effects is the titles foundation. Cinema 4D handles 3D type and camera work. Foundry Nuke handles precision compositing for high-end feature title sequences. Adobe Illustrator covers vector type design. FontLab and Glyphs handle custom Arabic display font work when bespoke type is part of the design brief.
Here is how this works in practice. Bilingual Arabic-English title sequences are the Saudi specialty. Right-to-left text direction, contextual letter-shaping (first, medial, final, isolated forms), and bidirectional mixing with Latin scripts all need careful handling. So do Kashida elongation, ligature handling, and Tatweel justification.
Here is the short of it. We work with Arabic-trained typographers. Display fonts come from 29LT Bukra, Boutros, AlMohanad, Tasmeem, and Adobe Arabic, plus custom-commissioned wordmarks. End credits run with OpenType-shaped Arabic right-aligned and English left-aligned in dual columns, or stacked with language separators. The layout follows Red Sea Global Film Festival, Saudi Film Festival Dhahran (Ithra), and AlUla Film Awards conventions.
Here is the breakdown. Saudi Arabia's title-design heritage tracks the post-2018 narrative film revival. Telfaz11's Sattar (2022) used a today's two-tongue title package. Haifaa al-Mansour's Wadjda (2012) set up the today's Saudi-feature title aesthetic, combining Arabic Kufic display type with Latin sans-serif. Shahad Ameen's Scales went stylised and poetic. Mahmoud Sabbagh's Barakah Meets Barakah (2016) used graphic-novel-influenced titles.
Here is what that looks like on the ground. Global features wrapping at AlUla mostly commission title design from LA, London, or Sydney shops. Examples have Kandahar (2023, Gerard Butler), Desert Warrior (2024, Anthony Mackie), Cherry (Apple TV+, partial AlUla), and Hellraiser plates. All of them need Arabic-localised credit versions for MENA area release.
Here is how the picture comes as one. We deliver title packages across each distribution chain. Theatrical goes out as DCP via SMPTE for AMC Saudi Arabia, VOX Cinemas, Muvi Cinemas, and Empire Cinemas. Broadcast goes out as AS-11 MXF for MBC and Saudi Broadcasting Corporation. Streaming goes out as IMF for Shahid VIP, StarzPlay Arabia, Netflix MENA, Amazon Prime Video Arabia, Apple TV+ Arabic, and Disney+ MENA. Festival prints go to RSIFF, Saudi Film Festival Dhahran, and AlUla Film Awards. Billing is in SAR, with 15% VAT and a Sunday-Thursday workweek.
