Welcome to our forum spotlight on an inspiring student venture! I’m excited to introduce Ivan Hoo, one of our students and the creative force behind Whonimations. As an engineer by day and animator by night, Ivan dedicates roughly two weeks of drawing for each ~5-minute video, delivering engaging 2D animated storytimes—everything from fun uni anecdotes and gaming highlights to charming childhood comic throwbacks.
His passion and commitment shine through every frame, and it’s truly uplifting to see a fellow student pour so much heart into a side project. If you’re looking for entertaining animation and want to support Ivan’s journey, check out Whonimations: https://www.youtube.com/@Whonimations
I’d love for you to see one of Ivan’s animations in action—take a look below! This video really shows off his signature style: engaging storytelling, smooth pacing, and those little visual touches that come from spending two weeks on the drawing. Watch it and let us know what stands out for you—whether it’s the humor, the character expressions, or the overall vibe.
After you’ve seen it, drop a comment on YouTube (and here) about what you liked or any ideas it sparks—this kind of feedback is gold for Ivan as he refines his craft!
