Case study

Portfolio-grade content for a booth built to be seen.

Two Eighteen brought us on to capture the BBC Studios booth at Licensing Expo — portfolio shots for the build itself, plus live coverage of how it played on the floor. Two passes through the show: the empty build first to show the craft, then the room in motion once doors opened.

The challenge

A booth worth showing twice. Once empty, once in motion.

Two Eighteen built the BBC Studios booth for Licensing Expo and needed portfolio-grade content to showcase the work. The brief: capture the craft of the build cleanly, then capture the show floor experience as attendees moved through the space. One booth, two visual stories — empty and full.

Booth coverage like this is its own discipline. Empty shots need clean light, considered angles, and a sense of scale. Live shots need timing and discretion to capture the room without staging it. We shipped both in a single pass through the show.

Our approach

How we solved it.

01

Pre-production

Walked the booth design with Two Eighteen, mapped a shot list across both empty-build and live-floor passes, and locked the gear plan before the show floor opened.

02

Empty build pass

Photo and video of the finished booth before doors opened — clean light, considered angles, and the details that show how the build was made.

03

Live floor pass

Returned during show hours to capture attendees interacting with the booth — moments, expressions, and the energy that only shows up when the room is in motion.

04

Deliver

Portfolio-grade stills, short-form video cuts, and the full original library — handed off to Two Eighteen ready to use across pitch decks, social, and case studies.

Photo + video

one team, one show

Stills, short-form cuts, and the full original library delivered to Two Eighteen by a single crew running both passes.
