Twilight Trot Cycle Practice

Description

If anypony asked me what is the most difficult thing to animate on ponies is the 4 walk-cycles: Walk, Trot, Canter, Gallop. Expressions problems are not a big problem, nor does fancy absurd Cartoon Physics influenced movements (I love you cartoon physics). But the walk cycle... My main weakness... This is why this is so sloppy ^^;

I'm a failure :iconrarityfacedeskplz:

I've been practicing quite a while on Trots and Walks, as I've been planning to heavily use that if I'm to animate anything pony related. This one is my 5th try, and its not even barely decent... I suck at this thing...

:icontwilightfacehoofplz::iconsaysplz:Yudhaikeledai... You are a disgrace to ponykind... Me in particular...

Feedback, critiques or jeers please? I need some pointing out as well some well aimed sharp critiques and lashes. And if you wish to criticize this animation here hard, do it. Don't hold back and go harsh on me! I don't mind any critique as long as they are well aimed and well intentioned :) I HAVE to improve much on this, and I swear I will! Cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my... (pokes eyeball) EAAAUGGHH!!!

The front is obviously side view, but the back looks like it might be 3/4 view

There is a lot of jitter, which can be partially attributed to the lines that show up and disappear throughout the animation. I think if you fix that, a lot of the jitter might be taken care of

And general advice: closely watch the trot cycles in the show, and then look at yours, and then see where the differences are

Then again it looks like this might be a little late, but better late than never, right?
