The Saudi Film Commission's Film Saudi initiative for local and international productions. It covers the production incentive programme, filming locations from desert and sea to historic sites, a directory of service providers and help with licences and approvals.
Our takeStart here when planning a shoot in Saudi Arabia. Use the directory to find local suppliers, and check the incentive terms early if the project is a film.
Run by the Royal Commission for AlUla, Film AlUla supports productions shooting there with location scouting, filming and drone permits, visas, local crew, the AlUla Studios complex and cash rebates.
Our takeContact the team before pitching AlUla as a location: they can confirm what's possible on permits, drones and incentives, which shapes both the treatment and the budget.
Web-based production management software covering pre-production from script to shoot day: screenplays and two-column AV scripts, breakdowns, shot lists, storyboards, mood boards, production calendars and call sheets.
Our takeOur pick for agency producers moving shoots off spreadsheets. Call sheets go out by email and text with delivery tracking, and the AV script format suits ad scripts.
A subscription library of high-definition stills and screengrabs from films and commercials, created by cinematographer Lawrence Sher. Team and enterprise plans are offered for studios and agencies.
Our takeWorth paying for if you write treatments or director briefs often. Run the two-week free trial on a live pitch to see whether it earns its place.
Adobe's video review and approval platform. Clients and colleagues leave frame-accurate comments on cuts, Camera to Cloud uploads takes from set as soon as they are shot, and it works with Premiere and Final Cut Pro.
Our takeReplaces email chains of timecoded notes, because clients comment on the frame itself. The free plan (two members, 2GB, two projects) suits a trial on one small job.
A subscription library of music, sound effects, stock footage, video templates and LUTs, with AI tools for generating images, video, voiceover and music. Licences are tiered, from plans for social channels to business licences.
Our takeCheck the licence before client work: the Social plan is for social channels, client work and paid ads are listed under Pro, and agencies are pointed to the Business plan.
