Abstract

The UNLOCK Final Year Project Exhibition 2025 presented the culminating works of graduating students from the Visual Effects (VFX) programme at Multimedia University. The showcase featured five projects—Sangkara Putra, Indina, Infectious, Vendetta, and Bongkok Tiga—that explored genres ranging from fantasy and science fiction to folklore-inspired horror. Each production combined technical application of industry-standard tools, such as Houdini, Maya, and Nuke, with narrative experimentation and cultural themes. This review examines the curatorial framing of the exhibition, the approaches taken by student teams, and the broader implications for VFX education and practice in Malaysia. By situating the works within pedagogical, industrial, and cultural contexts, the review highlights how the exhibition reflects both the competencies acquired by students and their potential contribution to the local creative economy.
