FameLab 2012
Famelab science competition was less about content, but more about the “WOW” of presentation. The University of Nicosia hosted the preliminaries in Cinestudio, while Mediazone produced the pre-recorded “live to tape” video production which aired on CyBc.

Laugh until you cry… Video Competition!!
Sometimes you have to laugh so hard that tears come running down your face. Its one of the nicer involuntary actions of the human condition.So why not make a 20 second video about it! Come on laugh a little!! (Thanks to Elisa for the heads up!)
Taking our first steps…Our Blog is 1 year old!
With the launch of the Mediazone student website last year, came our Blog. In many ways Mediazone has had the opportunity to affect our student population in positive ways. Everything from student equipment handbook updates & tutorials to exciting events.
Students from all of our departments, Multimedia, Design, Education as well as Communications have sought our “expert know how”. Instructors have also flocked to Mediazone for assistance and support in countless of different ways. Communications students taking practical courses got a chance to showcase their work in our Student Upload section, while student Lab Assistants are now writing monthly Blog entries. Even our Engineer has his own section. With our Blog we could not only inform and showcase to the public our work, but give thanks to our student Lab Assistants that put forth all the extra effort.
With new features added like video ratings and comments we encourage everyone to get involved and be heard. Let us know what you think. We can’t be happier – just one more way that Mediazone enriches the student experience here at the University of Nicosia.
