Well this kind of motion graphics is called “kinetic typography”. I got very inspired by this kind of art lately and that’s why I would like to share some helpful information with you. Continue reading
Just like me, you also may have seen posters around University advertising the new Unic Application. When I first saw it I thought it was a brilliant idea since most of us have learned and have gotten used to having everything we need on our phone. Our phones have become a part of our daily lives and we always have them on us. They are not only our phones but they have become our personal mail man, our entertainment at times of boredom, our computer, basically they’ve become a customized piece of technology that suits each and everyone’s personal need.
“The Distance Learning IT Unit, in line with IT trends and student needs, has developed the first in-house mobile application for the University. The app, is now available on Windows Store, Google Play and App Store, its aim is to simplify everything you need to know about the University of Nicosia.” Taken from Gregoris Vishnumolakala article for Unic magazine.
On March 20th 2013, students of the University Of Nicosia
took part in a fun production of a UNic Harlem Shake video at the open amphitheater. It wasn’t something you get to see every day and we definitely stole the interest of other students. Some watched and others participated, it’s positive that we broke the way of the daily routine. Special thanks to MediaZone, Stefan Colton (opening performer) and everyone who was a part of this Harlem Shake! Hopefully students in the future will also be encouraged to take similar initiative. Encourage Creativity !

Have you ever watched a movie with breathtaking landscapes, gorgeous castles or giant buildings in the middle of nowhere that makes you ask yourself “How did they do that?” . Well there is a technique in video editing called “Compositing” which allows you to do that. In fact compositing has grown so much during the last few years, that it is accepted to be not only a technique but a whole new kind of art. Continue reading
They are hand picked, highly trained and on many occasions multi talented; and when they graduate we are sorry to see them go. On the other hand we couldn’t be prouder!
Take Constantinos Christoudias for instance. He has been with us for just over 2 years. He was an exceptional assistant and an exceptional student. Little did we know that behind his warm “customer service” exterior smile, beat the heart of a true competitor. Constantinos is both a table tennis player and a coach. Continue reading
Logo. A simple word which has a huge meaning. How would our life be without logos? How are we supposed to recognize each company, every organization or any other organized groups purpose without the existence of logos?
Logos are created by artists in cooperation with organization’s executives in order to indicate the organization’s identity in a graphic form and introduce it to the audience. Every organization needs its logo in order to promote the products or services that they offer. Logos help companies to gain instant public recognition. Continue reading

After Steve Job’s passing, Apple went all the rage these days with new and more colourful products in its line that ‘revolutionizes’ the conservative image Apple used to have over the years. Maybe it has something to do with Jonathan Ives stepping up in as the lead designer of Apple. As far as I can recall the last person being head of design in Apple products was Steve Jobs. I believe that this will change Apple’s image as we know it forever. Also I believe that we are going to see some more ‘aggressiveness’ in the time cycle of new products that come out. This will get them into the more competitive aspect of the market than just being independent as a company and being isolated by themselves and have them expand into more sectors and hopefully drag more people into the Apple ecosystem.

If 2 cameras are not enough for your production, try shooting with 50. Recently, I was watching a behind the scenes video of the new Hollywood film, “The Hobbit”. The thing that amazed me was the fact that in order for the film to be shot, 48 RED epic cameras were used. I started asking myself “Why RED?”, “What is it that makes these cameras better than the rest, and why choose them ?” . And that is why I want to share with you a brief review of the RED epic cameras and leave you to decide for yourself if it’s worth the price of 24 000$ !!! Continue reading
This is where new-tech is going. It is amazing, because we might have never imagined 5 or 10 years ago that when we go to a hotel, instead of receiving a key card, we will receive a smart phone.
Now this is possible with new technology. The so called high-tech hotels are using this system to provide an advanced and perhaps more secured services to their customers. I wondered how it worked, so I searched little about it. Continue reading
