Recently I did a few tests for an upcoming spy film, and this is the result. Overall, it's not my best work, but more than anything I was just testing out a new cradle for my camera.
Comments and criticism are appreciated.
Not bad! I thought it was really good, the only thing I would do, Is make the gun-shot sound a little louder, it sounded a little more like a paintball gun than a pistol. Other than that, great work! The animation was real smooth too. 
Actually, I think the gun sounds were quite fitting. He looks like a secret agent, so it makes sense he might have a silenced pistol for subtlety.
The animation was pretty good, but there seemed to be some long unnecessary pauses.
Also, you should have some sort of flare. I recently typed up something for "cartoony" flares
You could also use stock footage, a completely in-shot effect, or just make your own.
He looks like a secret agent,
That's because he is. 
As for the sound, I didn't want to spend half an hour looking for the right sound effect when it wasn't terribly important, so I just used the first sound I could find. Also, I was going to make a flare in GIMP, but it ended up looking pretty terrible, so I decided to just scrap it. I'll probably be doing more tests like these anyway, so maybe in the future I'll try a flare.
A bit slow, but I loved the dolly. Keep up the good work!

The camera movements were flawless. Add a little muzzle flare on test 2. Other than that, amazing job.
