Malaysian Local Film Production - "Rasuk"
Local film "RASUK" is a suspense-thriller film shot in a few locations in Malaysia. Two of our students were involved in the film production as Location Sound engineers. They got to the opportunity to meet and work with industry professionals during their involvement as location sound engineers.

Mr. Baldev, RASUK Film Director
At first I thought they were amateurs when they stepped on my set, but when it was time to work and when I saw the results, “I came to know that I was dealing with individuals who know what they were doing and they know how to work with professionals.”
The sounds that they picked up during the production at the different locations were amazing; the live sound they captured would give the movie a real feel as the reality of the sound can be felt.
Of course, I think the SAE Students have made me proud, it also made me realize that there are excellent sound engineers around. I would also like to thank them because they have given me the soul of my film “Rasuk”.
My advice to SAE Students is that they should be outgoing and take up every opportunity to work in this field to gain experience before they graduate. Like how these two engineering (students) did for my film “Rasuk”.

Sha Kok Weng
Through my time working in this film production, I was able to experience film production in the industry, and also I have gained valuable exposure to the industry. I am really grateful for the opportunity given to me by this production company, and also to SAE for giving me the opportunity.
I hope that other SAE students may be involved with this kind of activities in the future. I believe it will give them much valuable experience which will benefit them as they go into the workplace.

Wong Wee Hin
This was my first involvement in the film production with a senior director from the industry Mr Baldev. SAE Institute Malaysia and Mr. Baldev gave me the opportunity to learn and experience film production in the industry.
Besides being a location sound engineer for this production, I also picked up valuable information and so called “tips” from other departments as they were willing to share with us their expertise as well, like the camera department; they educated us on the RED ONE digital camera technology through the shoot.
We felt very comfortable working on the film production as we were able to relate to both divisions of the production the film division and the audio division.
I remember Mr. Baldive saying during the production “we are like a family for 18 days in this production”. To sum it all up I would say that it was enjoyable but at the same time very useful. I will be looking forward to explore and venture in-depth into the film industry in future.

Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra Open Rehearsal
On 20th November 2009, SAE Malaysia students had a unique experience observing the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra’s pre-performance preparation. The orchestra performed and rehearsed excerpts of Piano Concerto No.2 by Chopin, led by Maestro Clause Peter Flor and featured pianist Dong-Hyek Lim.
Orchestral music is only reinforced by the orchestra hall acoustics (No electrical amplification is required), and this makes it the purest form of sound projection.
SAE Malaysia students, as a part of their music appreciation subject, had a chance to learn more about the orchestral music instruments and also tune their ears by the natural dynamics and the wide frequency range of concert music.
We want to thank Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra and its Education and Outreach Department to make the Encounter sessions happen. We also hope to be frequent visitors of such performances.

Dustin's experience working with "Pledging New Foundation"
An audio engineer is someone with experience in production and manipulation of sound mechanical or digital means. The person is essential to the recording and mixing process, whether it be music, voice over or live sound. SAE Media Technology student Dustin Riduan Shah was recently involved with the rock band “Pledging New Foundation” which presents rock as their foundation with a little influence of progressive, funk and RNB.
Dustin participated as the audio engineer for two songs namely “Autumn” and “Instinct”. The song debuted on the 7th of Feb 2009 on UFM 93.6. He conducted the recording and mixing using the renowned audio production software “Pro Tools” along with Digidesign D-Command interface. The recording, mixing and mastering were done at SAE Institute studio.
Dustin comments “The course curriculum is well rounded making me feel comfortable in undertaking this task and other areas of the industry, be it live sound, music production and even audio production business. If you love music SAE Institute is most suited for you”.

Your All-Access Pass, Connecting You To The Professional.
Recently, SAE Malaysia students were taken on an exclusive, all access tour of the National Film Board FINAS’ Dolby Premier sound complex – before it was open to any public visit or commercial clients. This exclusive opportunity was only granted via our strong connection with FINAS. Opened on February 2009 by the Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, the complex showcases a bevy of first-class, high-end filming equipment and facilities – a testimony of the government’s faith in the industry and the future generations of practitioner…practitioners that SAE Malaysia will partly train and develop.
Our academic team consists of either practicing experts or experiences pioneers in their respective fields. That’s because, we know the importance of not just providing students the knowledge they need to join the industry, but the right guidance and mentoring to survive and thrive in the industry.
At SAE Malaysia, you do not just attend lectures. You are coached into the industry by our industry experts. To teach future generations of practitioners, we have picked our academic team from among experts who have the passion and patience to teach the young.
And with an academic team that is ever eager to share their career-long experience, our students get first-hand advice and tips usually not found in any text books nor research database. And such advice and tips are an unwritten industry law which if you know them, sets you apart from all your peers!
Most of our graduates find immediate employment through recommendations and industry connections. Having an academic team that has the right connections with the industry means students and graduates has exclusive access where it matters. And that, is a short cut that others find hard to provide.
