It's an ambitious camera movement, but it's a little too jerky. It moves at such a speed that it's difficult to track, and it's over before your brain registers what it's looking at and what it just did.
The profile cropping doesn't lend it any favors either since the creature is moving from side to side. If it were in landscape composition, it would have more room to move from screen-right to screen-left which would help the movement read better.
There's no wind-up. Not even for the wave. It's very abrupt "HELLO-HERE-I-GO-SIKYUHHH-LANDED-IT!!!!!" and it's over.
It's just long enough to hint at the talent within you, but it doesn't showcase it very well. If you're putting your hat in the ring, take a note from the demo reels of others. It ain't just one sequence, it's a broad range of samples to their capabilities. I would focus your energy on exploring your range, and after you've done that, tidy up this shot, and throw it all together in a demo reel that's no longer than 60 seconds.
You got this!
Thanks, I'll study vigorously and especially work on pacing my sequences.
