Case study

Beauty shots of Coreweave’s compact build, captured for the portfolio.

PhotographyVideoHuman X2026

A return engagement with Two Eighteen at Human X. Focused photo and video coverage of Coreweave’s smaller-format activation, scoped specifically for the agency’s portfolio library.

The challenge

Capture a tighter, smaller-format Coreweave build with the same craft language as the original.

After the GTC wave build, Two Eighteen called us back for Coreweave’s compact activation at Human X, a smaller-footprint version of the full build, designed to travel and to live in tighter event venues.

The brief was deliberate: less coverage of activation moments, more focus on beauty shots. Architecture, lighting, material detail, and the way the build sits in space, with frames built specifically to anchor Two Eighteen’s pitch deck for future Coreweave-scale work.

Our approach

How we solved it.

01

Plan

Pre-production with Two Eighteen, with a shot list focused on architectural angles, material detail, and the moments that show how the smaller build sits in its venue.

02

Capture

Two-person crew on-site at Human X, working the build during low-traffic windows for cleaner frames.

03

Edit

Hero stills graded to match the GTC library, video cut for slow-pan beauty rather than activation energy.

04

Deliver

Tight portfolio handoff, every frame tagged and organized for Two Eighteen’s pitch deck.
