Our talented Digital Media students and alumni, guided by our dedicated lecturers, have made us proud once again!
We are thrilled to announce that four groups of these creative minds have been selected as finalists to showcase their extraordinary work for the Immersio’s Outdoor Projection Mapping at George Town Festival!
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to George Town Festival and Filamen for this incredible opportunity.
This project was guided by our dear lecturer, Wong Si Ying, and here’s an inspiring story to share about the journey alongside the students involved.
So, this was how everything began. It didn’t matter if they came together just for a class trip or because they really wanted to create something they could be proud of. I really treasure the time I spent with this lively group. The vibe in the class was great – they were more like siblings than competitors. They worked together, discussed assignments, and helped each other out.

The story continues as they got a detailed assignment brief and started working on it. Even though they didn’t know much about 3D software, I showed them some tutorials, they looked up help on YouTube, and we sat down to solve problems together. Some of them got stuck at the planning stage, so we walked around and talked it out. Another group was more independent – most of the time, I just needed to make sure their work was polished. Despite being new to it all, they kept pushing themselves to do better and explore new possibilities.
In the week before the deadline, they formed a group to book a place to stay in Penang. Once they were done with the assignment, the group lit up with discussions about good places to eat. And guess what? Both groups got selected. That was really exciting news for them. I could see how happy they were when their work was put up on the building for photos and videos. They did a really great job. But remember, this is just the start – don’t hang around in that happy feeling for too long. Keep moving forward, keep trying new things, and keep those friendships going strong.
