Last week I posted my finished VFS reel, but I felt that it was too long and draggy.. and from an employer's perspective potentially boring and eject-worthy. So I've recut it to be much faster paced, and I'm hoping to get some feedback:

in contrast, here is the previous version which was 3 minutes 45 seconds:

At VFS, we're taught to have all of these really big cinematic shots (it's a film school after all), but for a demo reel I feel like it needs to be more to the point. So I've tried getting a breakdown in within 30 seconds of the opening title, and they're tastefully scattered throughout the two minutes.
I appreciate any feedback!!
