SINGAPORE: 33 students from Temasek Polytechnic's Diploma of Interactive and Multimedia Design have produced short videos using High Definition technology.

These are on display as part of an exhibition of projects by graduating students from the polytechnic's Design school.

Temasek Polytechnic is the first institute of higher learning in the Southeast Asian region to train its students in HD video production.

"We believe that right now, they are at the level higher than industry expectations. So this time, when they graduate, we expect them to do very well. They will be able to go out and meet industry standards. And for companies ready to go to the next level, they will be able to meet expectations of the industry," says Moses Wong, director of Temasek Polytechnic Design School.

Aspiring film-maker Linus Koh forked out nearly S$1000 to make the film, including several hundred dollars on publicity materials.

"It's to market myself so that, hopefully, employers can come and hire me, see the passion that I have for filmmaking, see the capabilities that I have, and hopefully see that I'll be a resource in their company in the future," says the Interactive and Multimedia Design student.

And he is not the only one putting his money where his mouth is.

Fashion student Tan Gin Li says, "Initially it's a big sum of money, I thought to myself. And I keep asking money from my parents. But afterwards, when I'm really into the process, I see the results when I've done the garments and when I've put up the exhibition as well as on the runway with the lights on, it's really glamorous. I really feel very happy about it."

For students like Linus and Gin Li, the polytechnic's Graduate Design Show is a chance to show their works to potential employers. - CNA/yy
