The Tisch Summer High School Program in Singapore is not all work and no play. The high school students did an impromptu performance with their teaching assistants along Pagoda Street in Chinatown during one of the Arts & Culture tour.

Under the guidance of Post-Production instructor Mr John Burkhart, students learn how to import clips from tapeless media (Sony SXS cards), use timeline tools, utilize basic editing tools, 3-point editing and basic color correction.

On July 18, the Tisch Summer High School Program students had a little weekend adventure at Pulau Ubin, the last “kampung” (or village) in Singapore. The group took a bumboat ride from Changi jetty from the main island to Pulau Ubin. Once arrived, students can choose to cycle or ride the van for a half-day tour around the island. Students experienced “Singapore in the 60s” as they cycled through rubber plantations and tropical mangroves. It was an interesting and enriching day away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
