Practicing stopmotion with fallout character

With the new fallout tv show I thought it’d be a good idea to try make a relevant animation. I based the character off the vault boy bobble head found in the game (I know the sculpt is not that good) if you have any ideas what to animate next just say!

Also if you want to see more of my work and a future behind the scenes video : https://www.youtube.com/@plim_motion

In-Betweening + Two's and Three's help

I'm struggling a fair bit with the concept of slow in and slow out. I understand the basic principle; draw start and end, extreme in the middle, in-betweens in the empty spaces. But it still is way too fast. Am I just not drawing enough? Should I create more to slow it down??

Also, when I draw in twos, I end up with an animation that is missing half it's frames. How exactly does drawing in two's and three's work? Surely the animation is missing the frames, right?

I'm a beginner so I'm sorry if these are stupid questions.

Trying to figure out a straightforward way to animate text where the characters shift to form a different phrase. E.g., if the phrase is "HI THERE GO", I want the characters to shift to form "HIT HER EGO". The way I did it in Motion is time-consuming, and I think there's probably a much easier way.

Help on Learning

Hey guys, I recently made a post on reddit asking for advice on how to learn animation. I've always been interested in art and technology, and I think animation is such a cool way to combine both of those interests. I've tried looking up tutorials online, but I'm still feeling a bit lost on where to start. If anyone has any tips or resources they can share with me, I would really appreciate it! I want to improve my skills and maybe even pursue a career in animation someday, so any help would be awesome. Thanks in advance!

Made a video in the style of "If the Emperor had a Text-to-Speech Device". I'd love to read what you think about it.

How do I animate water ripple effects on face reflections?

I was trying to find tutorials to make a water ripple effect on the face. However the only tutorials I found were just reflection animations in calm water, not reflections reacting to water ripples.

Which animation software and technique does Zack D. Films use?

He has great videos on his channel here: https://www.youtube.com/@zackdfilms/shorts

I am hoping to learn the animation software and techniques myself. His videos are not cartoonish and they are virtually realistic.

Many thanks!

Mixed-media Animation Survey [themes of manipulation; possibly triggering] (prefered if knowledgeable about manipulation, but all are welcome)

Hello, I have an anonymous survey I made for a project for college to gather a target audience. I plan on making a mixed-media animation, but I need a little help with some suggestions for my idea and the idea itself. It's not too long, but I would appreciate it if you could take some time and write some responses (as detailed as possible) to the questions.

Some questions are about manipulation that may be triggering.

The idea; My idea is a 1st person POV (point of view) of being manipulated. I plan on taping my phone to my head or something like that, so you see directly what my eyes see. I only want to interact with animations instead of real objects (making animations on top of the real world and interacting with them only). Please make your own suggestions if you think of any suggestions or ideas.

I want to make manipulators for different kinds of relationships (e.g., work relationships, friends, strangers, teachers and family. Though, I plan on adding a stalker (if I have time)). I want to give each manipulator a different art style (e.g., claymation, traditional art, papermation, etc.) I would appreciate it if you could participate in my survey; thank you in advance :)
