National Water Company. A boy on a flying carpet and his CGI companion Drippy travel across Saudi Arabia and dive into its history.

How do you film a journey across Saudi Arabia and stay within budget and timeline?

The country was already filmed. It just needed to be assembled. We dove into the stock footage world and built the journey — then filmed the actor to match. Light, angle, camera movement for every single frame. For some shots, the boy and the carpet were scanned — so the CGI and the filmed actor lived as one.

Drippy appeared immediately — and the client loved her immediately. Large expressive lashes — the one detail that made her feel like her own.

2D, 3D, comp, keying, roto, cleanup, animation, render… Almost 100 shots, over three minutes of runtime, a massive team — all of it before Saudi National Day 95.

The result speaks for itself.
