SCENE 01 / HIGH SPEED FILMING
High Speed Filming in Saudi Arabia
Capture stunning slow motion with Phantom cameras and precision motion control in Saudi Arabia.
High-speed filming shoots action at extreme frame rates. It makes dramatic slow-motion footage. It reveals details the naked eye cannot see. This skill powers Saudi Arabia's fast growing commercial sector. The work spans Riyadh luxury product campaigns and car spots. It also covers Saudi Pro League football (SPL) sports analysis. And it shapes creative shots tied to Vision 2030 and NEOM's future branding.
We source high-speed cameras from Riyadh rental houses. We add special lighting and data workflows. Our team sets up skilled operators at NEOM Studios (Bajdah — 25+ stages by 2030), Jax Film Studios (Riyadh — 7,000m² with Sony virtual production), PlayMaker Studios (Qiddiya, 50 acres), and Film AlUla. We tap the 40% cash rebates on qualified spend. We work with pro post partners like Nebras Films.

Phantom Flex 4K for F1 Jeddah, Saudi Cup, MDLBEAST, hypercar campaigns
High-speed filming in Saudi Arabia clusters around three calendars: live sports, automotive, and luxury brands. The F1 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix runs each March at Jeddah Corniche Circuit. It deploys Phantom Flex 4K and VEO 4K-PL on the pit-lane, the start-finish straight, and the corner-1 entry under FOM broadcast direction. The Saudi Cup horse race takes place at King Abdulaziz Racetrack. It is the richest race worldwide at $20M, held each February. It runs Phantom Flex on the home straight for hero-finish replay. Saudi Pro League football also drives demand. Al Hilal/Ronaldo, Al Nassr/Benzema-Mané, and Al Ittihad/Karim Benzema deploy Phantom or Sony FX9 240fps for goal-replay sequences. These shoots run at Kingdom Arena and Al-Awwal Park. The work scales toward the FIFA Club World Cup and FIFA World Cup 2034. MDLBEAST Soundstorm runs each December at Banban. It is the largest Middle East EDM festival. It uses high-speed for stage-pyro and crowd hero shots. Hypercar campaigns at AlUla cover Lamborghini, McLaren, Aston Martin, Bugatti, and Lucid. Luxury brand commercials run at Diriyah Gate, Riyadh Boulevard, and Jeddah Corniche. These shoots routinely need 1000-4000fps liquid and product photography.
Gear supply runs cross-border. Phantom Flex 4K, Phantom VEO 4K-PL, and Phantom v2640 ship from Vision Research Dubai. They travel via Emirates SkyCargo DXB→RUH under ATA carnet through Saudi Customs (ZATCA). The FreeFly Wave sits at the budget tier for smaller commercial work. Local DIT teams handle the huge data rates. A single Phantom take can run 100-300 GB at 4K 1000fps. NEOM Bajdah Studios and MBC Studios give in-house DIT facilities and direct-attached LTO archive. Lighting departments size up a lot here. Frame rates above 500fps need four times the exposure. So we deploy ARRI M40 and M90 HMIs, Aputure 1200d/600d Pro arrays, and Quasar Crossfade Pixel tubes. These give flicker-free range at high frame rate. Cultural Development Fund rebates run at 35%, plus a 5% Saudization uplift. They cover Phantom rental and crew spend when routed through Saudi-registered hire houses.
FAQ
High Speed Expertise
What frame rates can you achieve?
Our Phantom cameras can capture up to 1,000+ fps at 4K resolution. Higher frame rates are ready at lower resolutions. We'll suggest the best frame rate and resolution balance for your Saudi commercial, sports, or Vision 2030 shoot.
What's the difference between Phantom camera models?
The Phantom Flex 4K gives the highest resolution at extreme speeds. The VEO series gives great results at a lower price point. We'll suggest the right camera based on your resolution, speed, and budget needs.
Do you provide Bolt or motion control rigs?
Yes. We work with Bolt and similar high-speed robotic camera systems. We source them through Riyadh rental partners. We often pair them with high-speed cameras for Saudi luxury product commercials, supercar campaigns, and NEOM brand shoots. All of these qualify for the 40% rebates.
What about lighting for high-speed filming?
High-speed cameras need much more light than standard filming. We design and supply flicker-free HMI and LED packages sized for your frame rate. We do this at NEOM Studios, Jax Film Studios, or on AlUla desert location shoots.
How much data does high-speed filming generate?
High-speed filming creates very large files. A single take can run many gigabytes. Our DIT services manage this data workflow. We handle backup, sorting, and delivery in your needed formats.
What applications are best for high-speed filming?
High-speed filming shines for liquid and splash photography. It also fits luxury product commercials, Saudi Pro League football sequences, automotive footage, and Vision 2030 brand campaigns. It suits any subject where revealing hidden motion adds visual impact.
