I fly the shots
others can't.

Saud Rakabi is a Saudi-based drone operator and aerial cinematographer working at the edge of motion and storytelling. From 250g FPV cinewhoops to heavy-lift rigs carrying full cinema cameras, he flies every tool the modern set requires.

His work moves between automotive commercials, narrative film, and live brand activations — defined by dynamic geometry, warm desert palettes, and a near-obsessive respect for the frame.
