How we use AI in Stock Stop in our daily work.
At Stock Stop LTD, we are a London-based media production company working actively across Saudi Arabia, including Riyadh and other regions. Like every innovative company in our field, we have been exploring the capabilities of artificial intelligence in media production. We are constantly testing the limits of AI technology to see how it can support our workflows, speed up our processes, and help us deliver high-quality content to our clients.
Artificial intelligence is not something we fear. It is something we use. It is a tool, nothing more, nothing less. And when used properly, it can increase the value we offer to our clients without replacing the talented professionals we rely on daily.
Using AI in Storyboarding and Animation
One example of how we have integrated AI into our process involves a current 2D animation project for a client in Saudi Arabia. As part of our pre-production, we prepared a detailed storyboard to set the tone and structure for the animation. Traditionally, this step can take over 24 hours for an animator to sketch manually.
Instead, our director used AI-generated images as placeholders, basic visual representations of each scene. These 25 AI-generated frames allowed our creative team to define the mood, tone, and style of the piece quickly. Our designer then took those AI visuals and redrew them by hand, incorporating the client’s vision and refining them into the final storyboard. This process not only saved us time but also helped the client receive and approve the brief faster.
Using AI for Investor Pitch Materials
In another case, one of our partners in Saudi Arabia, Red Luna, is developing a feature film. The script is complete and ready. To help pitch the film to potential investors, they created a trailer using AI tools. The AI-generated trailer offered a visual and stylistic glimpse into the movie, making it easier for investors to imagine the final product.
We are proud to be the post-production and on-set production partner for this feature film. The AI trailer helped move the project forward, but the actual work, filming, directing and editing remains in the hands of seasoned professionals.
Blending AI with Real Filming in Dubai
One of our collaborators in Dubai recently created a promotional video by blending AI backgrounds with real-life footage. Human actors were filmed in front of green screens, while AI was used to generate the background environments.
This hybrid approach enabled faster turnaround and helped maintain a high production quality. Our team assisted with the post-production of this video, ensuring that every element matched seamlessly. Again, AI supported the process, but skilled crew members brought it all together.
AI Visuals for Construction and Real Estate
We have also created AI-only videos for construction and infrastructure projects. These are used to present ideas to investors or illustrate future developments. In Saudi Arabia’s rapidly growing cities, including Riyadh, this approach helps clients visualize concepts before anything is built.
Our team uses AI to generate conceptual visuals and then blends them into animated presentations or short documentaries. These tools help us offer more within the same budget, improving outcomes for our clients.
Do We Use AI Voiceovers?
Yes. For offline editing and internal previews, we sometimes use AI-generated voiceovers. This helps us define timing, tone, and pacing. Once the client approves, we send them a selection of professional Saudi voiceover artists to choose from. Final recordings are made in certified sound studios, and we complete the work with expert sound design.
This process is efficient and helps us maintain a professional standard. AI voiceovers speed up internal workflows, but the final product is always created with real talent.
Do We Use AI for Scriptwriting?
No. All our scripts are written by our in-house team of experienced writers, creative directors, and producers. Our team has over 25 years of experience in storytelling, and the quality shows.
There is a clear difference between AI-generated scripts and those written by professionals who understand emotion, pacing, and cultural nuance. Our clients in Saudi Arabia and London trust us because they know we deliver content that resonates.
Do We Use AI for Translation?
Yes, but only during internal editing phases. For initial offline edits, we use AI-generated translations to speed up the process. Once the edit is ready for review, we send the final content to a certified translation company.
Our partner translators are certified by platforms like Netflix and Amazon. This ensures that the final subtitles or voiceovers are accurate, culturally appropriate, and professionally presented.
What AI Means for Us and Our Clients
AI helps us work faster. It allows us to draft, test, and explore ideas more quickly than ever before. But it does not replace our team. It does not replace our directors, editors, animators, writers, or sound engineers.
We continue to work with the same professional crew we have relied on for years people with 10 to 25 years of experience. We value their work, we pay them according to their expertise, and we are not replacing them with machines.
Instead, we use AI as a support tool. It is one of many technologies we adopt to improve the quality and efficiency of our production services. Whether we are working on a documentary in Riyadh, a commercial in Jeddah, or an animation in London, our priority is delivering exceptional results.
Final Thoughts
At Stock Stop LTD, we embrace the future without forgetting the value of the past. We blend innovation with tradition. We use AI to enhance, not replace the work we do.
Our clients benefit from faster delivery, better previews, and more options. And our team remains focused on what they do best: creating powerful stories through high-quality media production.
