When you're new to animation you always choose the IK as they do the work for the arms. But if you want to make a nice arc with the arms: almost 15 key frames is needed to do for a simple rotation.
I did that :p

Short but motivating ^^

Now I know more about FK and IK! Simply explained. Thanks. 💯

except for walk cycles i use IK i feel its the best i get more control while animating in IK .. Fk to me personally feels more work . IK has lot of stigma around it my lead says switch to FK it will be good for arcs but am very comfortable with IK and arcs are not a problem for me and my supervisor has says use any it doesnt matter as long as end result comes out good without wasting much time . Now am good at IK so why go try Fk it hinders my speed .

How do you animate characters in slowmotion? Always wondered about this.... Do animators do it while animating or is the slowmotion added in post after the animation is done?

[@BrianKouhi]

You can go both routes, but usually the better option is to do it while animating. So you animate the slow-mo into the shot. Animated films are 24fps, and so slowing that down in post would make the footage look choppy.
