Done in 30 minutes, I am trying to improve animation, do you like it?Related content

-The movements don't seem to be entirely smooth. She should move fastest when jumping off and landing on the bed, slowing and straightening at the height of her jump.
-It might just be how the animation loops, but she seems to judder in the air.
-The shaky camera makes it harder to make out all the movements. Maybe just focus on Lyra's animation so people can better appreciate it.
-There are several bits of Lyra that aren't moving, such as her flank and head. Her ears snap from the down to the up position kind of unnaturally. Her head should at least bob, rising up slower than the rest of her due to its weight. The ears should flap up and down with a delay as they are being carried along by the rest of her rather than moving by their own accord.
-As with the leg movements, they seem out of sync. They should spread out as she comes down, and straighten up as she rises, not once she's at the highest point.
However, this was a good attempt. It looks like you've got a lot of movement to convey, and lots of different parts to painstakingly animate, and I fully understand that that takes a lot of time and energy. Having done all this in 30 minutes is impressive.
For reference, look at Argodaemon's stuff, especially the Rainbow Dash headbang animation for a look at more complex movements of a pony's body: argodaemon.deviantart.com/art/ā¦
Or to a lesser extent, Happy Harry's HuHa2 How Tos as he talks about the Hierarchy of Movement: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kf1L7Cā¦
This is a great series for any kind of animator, and it covers all sorts of things from movement to backgrounds to colour theory. Though it mostly applies to 2D animation, a lot of the animation principles are applicable anywhere.
Hope this helps!

I feel she goes up in the air way to fast making it a bit unatural loop...As for the animation itself its good

She's probably excited to see her human come back home.

Hmm, not bad, but perhaps she should sink slightly into the bed before jumping again?

wow, this is awesome.
Do you think you can do my pony flying? If not, that's okay. You don't have to.
