Most people just see the final product—a polished video, a flawless live stream, a perfectly lit interview. What they don’t see is the behind the scenes effort. The last-minute technical glitches, the juggling of multiple projects, the race to fix something before anyone notices. That’s where Studio Assistants come in.
Working at the University of Nicosia’s Mediazone isn’t just about handling cameras and sound equipment. It’s about thinking on your feet when a microphone suddenly stops working or a file won’t export five minutes before a deadline. It’s about guiding students who’ve never touched a camera while keeping things moving for those who have. Supporting our students and staff in their practical courses means great ‘customer service.
It’s fast-paced, sometimes stressful, but also insanely rewarding. You learn to multitask like a pro—setting up gear, assisting students, troubleshooting, and editing, all at once. You get to work with high-end equipment, which is both exciting and a little nerve-wracking because, let’s face it, you do not want to be the one who breaks something expensive.
The constant changes keep you on your toes—new technology, tight deadlines, last-minute requests. But that’s what makes it rewarding. You adapt, problem-solve, and by the end of the day, you feel like you’ve made a difference.
The best part? Seeing a project come to life and knowing you helped make it happen. Next time you watch one of our ‘slick videos, just know—there was a lot of hard work (and maybe a little panic) behind the scenes. What’s the difference between what we do and what the pros do? Most of the time, nothing! Watch our videos, can you tell the difference!?
