Studio production course
A studio is only as good as its workflow.
spotzenivo is a hands-on course in studio production in motion: equipment setup, dynamic camera operation, lighting, sound waves and the smooth, high-quality workflows behind television news and live shows.

From the first cable to the final fade, trainees work through camera, lighting, sound and gallery cues together, exactly as a newsroom or live entertainment crew would on transmission day.

The difference is clear.
Most courses talk about studios. We train inside one, with working cameras, a real lighting grid and a full gallery, so every skill is practised under the same pressure as transmission day.
Hands-on from day one
Trainees rig, light and operate on the first morning, with an instructor beside them throughout.
Broadcast-ready habits
Checklists, talkback discipline and calm handovers that employers expect from a studio crew.
Workflow
Keep every cue, cable and camera on track.
Rundowns that work
Read, annotate and follow a running order so the whole crew knows what comes next.
Timing under pressure
Count in, count out and recover calmly when a live item overruns or drops.
Grow fast, with us
Trainees leave with a portfolio of live studio work and the confidence to step onto a news or entertainment floor from their first shift.
