Tippett Walk Cycle

I can't seem to get out the kink in his neck when the video loops..

Can't tell about the kink since we can't loop this. If you open the video in Quicktime Pro (we have it at school) you can copy and paste the video many times to loop it.

It MIGHT be that the 1st frame is the same as the last frame and both frames are included in the video. It's hard to check with this video you posted but you can just check to see if the 1st frame and last frame are different.

Besides that the animation feels "floaty" to me. I think the feet should move faster if you want a "cautious" or "sneaky" walk. The Paws don't weigh nearly as much as the body so they can move very fast compared to the body and still look believable.

I would recommend doing what david does, which is copy and paste the loop again down the timeline making sure to get rid of the repeated frame at the end then go somewhere in the middle of the keys with the same frame count and loop that, if the pop is gone then it's just your end frame not lining up with the first frame.
