SCENE 01 / MOODBOARD CREATION
Moodboard & Lookbook Creation in Saudi Arabia
Visual style guides and aesthetic direction for your production in Saudi Arabia.
Here is how this works in practice. Moodboard creation assembles visual references, color palettes, textures, typography, and tonal visuals that define a project's aesthetic direction. In Saudi Arabia, where shoots draw on everything from the sandstone formations of AlUla to the ultra-modern build style of Riyadh's King Abdullah Financial District, moodboards help align your team around a shared creative vision.
Here is the short of it. We support moodboard creation by working with with your creative team to curate visual references that capture your project's intended look and feel. Whether you're channelling the ancient mystery of Nabataean tombs or the gleaming futurism of NEOM, our team translates abstract concepts into concrete visual direction.

On Location
Moodboards for Saudi productions pull from Nabataean sandstone at Hegra, Hejazi rawashin wood-lattice in Jeddah Al-Balad, Najdi mudbrick at Diriyah, Empty Quarter dune fields, NEOM hyper-modern architecture, and the Vision 2030 contemporary Riyadh skyline — referenced against Wadjda, Sattar, Barakah Meets Barakah, Kandahar, and Desert Warrior
Saudi moodboards work from a distinct regional visual library. It has only recently entered Western production reference.
Here is how this works in practice. Sandstone-tomb references draw on AlUla's Hegra (Madain Salih, UNESCO 2008). The site is visually adjacent to Petra in Jordan. But the palette is different — red, ochre, and oxidized iron tones. The Diriyah Al-Turaif UNESCO district (2010) supplies the mud-brick Najdi vernacular that anchors heritage-themed boards. Historic Jeddah Al-Balad (UNESCO 2014) supplies the Hejazi rawashin wooden-lattice port aesthetic.
Today's references skew to two centres. NEOM brings hyper-today's Sindalah and The Line renderings. Riyadh brings the Kingdom Centre Tower, Al Faisaliah Centre, and King Abdullah Financial District skyline. The Jeddah Corniche rounds out the today's reference set.
Here is the short of it. We compose Saudi moodboards against the indigenous film grammar. Reference titles have Haifaa al-Mansour's Wadjda (2012) and The Perfect Candidate (2019), Mahmoud Sabbagh's Barakah Meets Barakah (2016), Ali Kalthami's Sattar (2022, the Saudi box-office record), and Shahad Ameen's Scales. Global shoots filmed in-country also feed reference. Examples have Kandahar (Gerard Butler, 2023, AlUla and NEOM), Desert Warrior (Anthony Mackie, 2024, AlUla), Cherry (Apple TV+), and Born a King (2019).
Here is the breakdown. Moodboard direction respects content guardrails that affect downstream Saudi distribution. The General Entertainment Authority (GEA) reviews public-facing work. Alcohol references should not appear on domestic-distribution boards. Religious-site interiors at the Two Holy Mosques are off-limits to non-Muslim crew — no Mecca or Medina haram-zone interior photography exists for Western shoots. Modest-dress visuals is the baseline for performers. Royal-family visuals is treated with sensitivity.
Color and texture references draw from across the kingdom. The Edge of the World (Jebel Fihrayn) cliff faces near Riyadh bring deep red. The Empty Quarter (Rub' al Khali) brings apricot-and-rust dunes. The Asir highland terraced villages around Abha bring cool grey-green. The Red Sea coast at the Farasan Islands brings turquoise.
Here is what that looks like on the ground. We brief shoots on the wider cultural context. That has Saudi Vision 2030 cultural-transformation themes, the Red Sea Global Film Festival (RSIFF) Jeddah aesthetic baseline, and the Manga Productions Riyadh Saudi-Japan animation style for animated and motion-design boards.
