First Demo Reel (school draft)

This is my first attempt at a demo reel, thrown together in a little under 2 hours. First things I heard from other students was that it was too long, and I could see that some shots could definitely be. I also didn't do much in the way of fancy editing or visual enhancements. I'm handing this in at school as my demo reel, as were really only getting marked on the DVD Studio Pro 6 DVD we hand in, and not the content of my reel.

However, I plan to be tweaking this and putting a lot more time into it, and make it my real demo real. What would be some first comments or criques? There's a few Glidecam shots not as smooth as I'd like (no vest/arm) and the dolly shot is a little jerky (DPed it, not operated).
Im thinking quicker tempo, shorters shots, maybe some actual order to the assemblance and placement of clips, maybe a song change. Some visuals flares and unique cuts, etc. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Oh yeah, my intro card sucks, that will change too.

when i seen the intro and herd the beging of the song i knew it was gonna suck, but it was great, i loved it. the song is awesome i didn't like the the first few sec but thats just me. i loved all the glide cam shots, is it really that smooth or are you just that good? i never used one but i sure do want one now. i thought you did a great job, i liked the editing i though it went together well and not over done. i thought it was really good hope your teacher thinks so as well.
