VAST DATA
18 films in year one, and counting
Ruckus-produced films powered VAST's Cosmos on Demand launch, still streaming on VAST's site today, part of a slate of 18 finished films in the partnership's first year, from broadcast and explainers to customer stories and a fireside chat. Production continued from the first launch broadcast through Build Beyond 2.0 and beyond.
Built for the AI era
VAST Data builds the AI Operating System, a platform unifying storage, database, and compute for the world's most demanding AI workloads, trusted by names like xAI, CoreWeave, NVIDIA, Pixar, Zoom, and ServiceNow. Ruckus directs, shoots, and finishes the broadcast and film content behind VAST's biggest launch moments.
Telling deep tech to the humans who buy it
VAST's technology runs deep, exabyte scale and unified data layers that are notoriously hard to put on camera without losing the room. Every company in tech was suddenly an AI company, so VAST needed launch content with broadcast-grade credibility, not another talking-head webinar, for moments with one chance to get it right.
A launch broadcast, and the slate behind it
Ruckus produced VAST's launch broadcast end to end at Vu Studios in Nashville: studio procurement, full crew, a three-camera 4K UHD shoot, and complete post, delivering a 60 minute presentation with a cinematic open and dedicated executive segments. The partnership continued into a second flagship production, Build Beyond 2.0.
For the Cosmos on Demand launch, Ruckus filmed VAST's CEO alongside leaders from Pixar, Zoom, NVIDIA, the Allen Institute, CoreWeave, and more, coordinating studios and executive calendars across the Bay Area, Las Vegas, and Montreal for a single launch moment.
The slate, straight from the channel
A sample of the year one slate sits below: the broadcast intro that opened the VAST Data Platform launch, launch films with NVIDIA and the Allen Institute, customer stories with Pixar and Zoom, and the fireside conversation between VAST founder Renen Hallak and MIT physicist Max Tegmark. Every film was directed, shot, and finished by the Ruckus studio team.
