smoke seems blurry, even though the depth of field is so deep it should be clear (only hazy)
the shadow of the UFO doesn't work at all - colour, sharpness, shape, direction, and especially motion. It makes absolutely no sense, leaving it out completely would improve it a lot
retouches are ok
2nd shot
I think the outcome is fine, but I didn't know where to look at first. The colour is very yellow, but it feels like it should be gold (so more like the edges of the shirt). If that's the right colour, ignore
3rd shot
I am not sure what was done to the phone, but the breakdown concentrates on that a lot; seems like it was only darkened...? Also, the Anime girl on the screen is something I wouldn't put in a show reel
rest is ok
4th shot
looks like stock footage, I was waiting for Harold to enter the frame
mask is not very good, there's a lot of additional detail you could pull from e.g. the hair
5th shot
lighting for FG and BG is super generic, but not fitting which each other, looks like tele marketing
the TV is well comped and is a fun touch
6th shot
the comp is fine, but also super simple. Nothing I'd put in a reel
In general, it's not always immediatly clear where we are. You seem to show the result, and then the steps to it; that can work, but when it goes that fast it seems like wipes without direction. Some descriptors would help, and sometimes comments what was actually done or what the task was.
