Teaching & workshops
Teaching didn't stop when we started building studios
Beyond the build itself, Meros runs hands-on photography, video and podcast training in Sydney — classroom activities and incursions for schools, and practical studio training for corporate teams. Training is available on its own, whether or not Meros built your room.
For teachers — classroom activities that use the room you've already got
Most media classrooms are under-used, not under-equipped. There's usually a camera, a light or two, a space that could be a set — and not much time to work out what to do with them across a teaching week.
We write activities around what you actually have. Lighting a single subject three different ways with one fixture. Running a three-camera interview with phones. Recording a two-person podcast segment end to end in a lesson. Each one produces something students can look at and critique the same day, rather than a project that dies halfway through term.
They're written for teachers to run independently — no specialist knowledge assumed, no equipment you don't own. If Meros built your room, they're mapped to the presets we set up in it.
For students — incursions and excursions
Same content, two delivery models. Which one suits comes down to whether it's easier to move the gear or move the students.
Incursions — we come to you
We bring the session into your school and run it in the space you already have — a classroom, a hall, or your school's studio. Nothing leaves the site, so there's no travel to organise and no day lost to buses.
-
No transport, permission slips or off-site supervision
-
Runs in a normal timetabled period
-
Works with your equipment, so students keep using it afterwards
-
Larger groups are easier to accommodate
Excursions — you come to us
Students visit a partner studio and work in a real production environment — a proper cyclorama, lighting rig and control room, with gear a school would rarely own. The room itself does a lot of the teaching.
-
Access to a full professional rig and cyclorama
-
Students see how a working studio is actually organised
-
Half or full-day formats
-
Group size capped by the studio's capacity
For corporate teams — practical studio training
In-house content teams rarely get proper training on the gear they're handed. Meros runs practical sessions for corporate staff in Sydney covering lighting, cameras, audio and running a studio day to day — built around your equipment and the content your team actually produces. Sessions run on site at your office or at a partner studio, and are tailored to the group rather than sold as a fixed course.
A partner-studio program for Sydney
Studios sit idle for large parts of the week. Schools need access to working studios they can't justify building. Those two facts fit together, and Meros is building a partner-studio program to join them up: commercial, education and hire studios that open their doors for student sessions during quieter periods. The studio earns from downtime, the school gets a genuine production environment, and students work in a room built for output rather than a classroom pretending to be one. If you run a studio in Sydney and want to be part of it, tell us.
