Video production in Riyadh
Nexel films corporate videos, conferences, launches and brand content in Riyadh with crews and an edit pipeline based in Dammam — a one-hour flight, travel shown as a line item, and drone operations filed with GACA and the location ahead of every shoot day.
The brief from here
Riyadh briefs are the Kingdom's largest: ministry and giga-project films, conference and summit coverage with multi-camera and live-stream requirements, headquarters and campus profiles, and Riyadh Season content. The audience is often international, so bilingual delivery and broadcast-grade output are the norm rather than the upgrade.

Permits and approvals
Drone flights in Riyadh need General Authority of Civil Aviation authorisation plus the location's permission, and the capital's airspace around the airport, government districts and the giga-project sites carries the tightest restrictions in the Kingdom — lead time is measured in weeks. Ground filming on public land goes through Riyadh Municipality; heritage sites such as Diriyah have their own media rules. We file all of it.
Crew, travel and timing
Director, DoP, sound and drone pilot travel from Dammam with camera, gimbal and audio kit; lighting, grip and additional crew are hired in Riyadh for larger days. Footage is backed up on set and edited, graded and mixed in our Dammam suites, with review links the same week. Travel and accommodation are a visible line on the quote.

Questions clients ask
{03}01Can you cover a two-day conference in Riyadh with multi-camera and live streaming?
Yes. A typical setup is three to four cameras, a switcher and encoder for the stream, dedicated audio, and a stills photographer, with the same crew cutting the recap film and social edits — so one supplier delivers the stream, the film and the photography.
02How long do Riyadh drone permits take?
Allow three to four weeks for a routine location and longer near restricted areas. GACA authorisation and the location's own permission are both required; we file them as soon as the shoot is confirmed.
03Do you deliver Riyadh corporate films in Arabic and English?
Yes. Scripts are written in each language, with Arabic and English voice-over, subtitles and RTL-correct motion graphics delivered from the same edit.
