Batam's up!
It was all cheers for the first batch of 36 Diploma in Digital
Media students attached to Infinite Frameworks Studios in Turi
Beach Resort, Batam last December, as part of SP's Overseas
Immersion Programme (OIP). The OIP, piloted by the Department
of Industry Services to support global orientation, is currently
planning to send some 140 Diploma in Tourism and Resort
Management students on its next trip soon.
"The Turi study trip was definitely an eye opener for me, as I learnt
a lot during the trip. For example, the character design, story
writing work flow workshops and art painting activities were all
very interesting and fun to me as we learnt how these things are
done in the industry, and how the production pipeline is like."
